Quick answer: Go to Settings > Payment Setting in your Eduqat Dashboard, enter your email on the Stripe card, and follow the link Stripe sends you through. You then create your Stripe account, secure it, enter your business details, and add a bank account. Stripe setup has to start from your Eduqat Dashboard, not from stripe.com.

This is the part people get wrong most often.

Creating an account directly on stripe.com does not connect anything to your school. The setup link that Eduqat gives you creates a Stripe account that is already linked to your Eduqat school, which is why the Stripe pages you see carry the PT Edukasi Global Teknologi name. A Stripe account made any other way cannot be attached to your school afterwards.

If you already have a Stripe account, you can still start from the dashboard and use the same email when Stripe asks for it.

Eduqat supports every country that Stripe supports. There is no separate Eduqat list, so the question is only ever whether Stripe covers your country.

You find out during setup. At the Let's start with some basics step, Stripe shows a Registered business address dropdown. Your country is supported if it appears there. Stripe states it plainly on that screen: if your country is not listed, you can sign up for updates about availability.

If your country is not on that list, you cannot connect Stripe, which means you cannot receive payments for your courses. Your school itself still works: you can build it, publish courses, and enroll learners manually. What you cannot do is sell.

Indonesia is the exception. Schools selling in Rupiah use Xendit instead of Stripe, so Stripe's country list does not apply to them. See How to Create a Xendit Account on Eduqat.

In your Eduqat Dashboard, go to Settings, then Payment Setting. You will see a Stripe card marked Not Connected.

Enter your email address in the Email field and submit it. A green confirmation appears: Successfully connect to the Stripe. You will be directed to complete the next step immediately!

If your browser does not redirect on its own, the same message contains a Link you can click to continue.

Stripe opens its Get started with Stripe page with your email already filled in. Check that the email is correct, then continue.

On the next page, Create your free Stripe account, set a password. Stripe shows a strength indicator and suggests a multi word phrase for a stronger password.

Already have a Stripe account? Use the same email here and Stripe will recognize it rather than creating a second one.

Stripe requires two factor authentication before it will let you continue.

1. Add a mobile number. On Secure your account with a mobile number, choose your country code, enter your number, and click Send text. If you would rather not use a phone number, use the authenticator app option on that screen instead.

2. Enter the code. Stripe texts you a six digit code. Enter it on the Enter the code from your device page. That screen also has Resend message and Use a different mobile number if something goes wrong.

3. Save the backup code. Stripe then shows Your account is secured with an emergency backup code. Use Download code or Copy code and store it somewhere safe. If you lose your phone, this code is how you get back into your Stripe account.

On Let's start with some basics, set two fields:

Choose the country carefully. It determines which tax fields Stripe asks for in the next step, and it is tied to your payout bank account.

On Tell us more about your business, Stripe collects the information it needs to meet the requirements of regulators and financial partners.

The exact fields depend on the country you chose in Step 4. For a business registered in Indonesia, for example, Stripe asks for the legal business name, the tax identification number (NPWP), and the business ID number (TDP or NIB). Other countries have their own equivalents.

The legal business name must exactly match the name registered against your tax ID. A mismatch here is one of the most common reasons verification stalls later.

On Verify you represent this business, enter the first name, last name, and email address of the person completing the form.

Stripe is explicit that this must be someone with significant control and management of the business. If that is not you, stop and pass the link to the right person rather than filling it in on their behalf.

On Add your bank to receive payouts, search for your bank and enter the account number. A payout is the transfer of funds from Stripe to your bank account, so this is how your course revenue actually reaches you.

Use an account in the same name and country as the business details you entered earlier.

On Add public details for customers, set the statement descriptor. This is the text your learners will see on their bank or credit card statement, and it must be between 5 and 22 characters.

Pick something a learner will recognize, normally your school name. An unrecognizable descriptor is a common cause of payment disputes, because buyers report charges they do not recognize.

Stripe shows Review and finish up with everything you entered: business details, the information you provided, and your public details. Check each section and use the pencil icon to correct anything that is wrong, then confirm.

Once Stripe accepts the submission, your school's Payment Setting page shows Stripe as connected instead of Not Connected.

Stripe may still mark some items as "Information required soon". That means your account works, but Stripe needs more documents before a deadline. Complete them from your Stripe dashboard.

If Stripe stays disconnected after you finish the setup, reach out through the live chat button in the bottom right corner of your screen and we will check the connection with you.
