This process uses Stripe. It is clean, fast, and professional. You’ll be able to send a link to the client once, and Stripe will charge them monthly on autopilot. No invoicing, no chasing. Recurring billing is non-negotiable.

STEP 1 — Create Stripe Account

Go to stripe.com and create an account. Use your real business name or your personal name. Stripe will ask for:

• Legal name
• Business address
• Bank account (for payouts)
• ABN (if in Australia) or your country’s tax ID equivalent
• Website or social presence (you can link your Instagram or Notion page if you don’t have a real site yet)

Verify everything. Stripe will hold funds if your ID isn’t legit or if your offer sounds like a scam. Use professional language.

STEP 2 — Set Up Product

Go to your Stripe Dashboard → “Products” → “Add Product”
