## Video Tutorial
* Navigate to **Business Tools**
* Select **Payments**
* If this is your first time, click the **Connect your Stripe** button to link your Stripe account
* Log in to your Stripe account or sign up if you don't have one
* Once connected, you will see various payment options available
* Toggle the option to **accept credit and debit cards** on or off
* This is the most common payment method for customers
* Enabling this option allows customers to pay via **Apple Pay** and **Google Pay**
* Choose whether to absorb credit card fees or pass them on to customers
* If fees are passed on, a standard fee of **4% + \$0.30** will be added to the transaction
* Toggle the option for **ACH payments** on or off
* If enabled, payments will be marked as paid when initiated, but reports will be locked until settled (up to 5 business days)
* Toggle the **Buy Now Pay Later** option on or off
* Note that you must absorb the fee of **8% + \$0.30** as passing it on would classify you as a lender
* Toggle the **Other Payment Methods** option on or off
* This method is less preferred due to tracking issues; manual payment marking is required
* If enabling other payment methods, include payment instructions (e.g., Venmo ID, Zelle details) for customers
* This feature can only be enabled by the service provider
* Contact support to request this feature if needed
* Customers can view payment options in the reports portal under **Payments**
