When an applicant pays for a permit online, they'll be able to either pay by credit card or e-check (depending on your community's payment type settings).  That information is securely transferred to the application called Stripe, which processes the credit card or e-check payment and then deposits the funds into your municipal bank account (which is collected when you set up your account with Stripe).

In ViewPoint, go to Settings > Payments, and then click on the "Connect with Stripe" button.  This will take you to a setup form to complete.  It should take about 15-20 minutes.

Once you've completed Stripe's form: Your ViewPoint account is automatically connected to your Stripe account. That's it!
