Stripe Connection Is Mandatory

Users must connect a Stripe account to request a payout:

• With stripe KYC we can know you're legit person
• This protects both guests and hosts

Setup Flow:

1. Choose country and currency for payments.
2. Fill in required details (IBAN, account number, etc.).
3. Proceed with Stripe payout setup.
