# Connect a new or existing Stripe account

> One Stripe connection flow for new and existing Standard accounts, with verified payment readiness and safer disconnects.

Payment Providers now offers **Connect with Stripe** through OAuth.
On Stripe, select your existing Standard account or create a new one, then
authorize TheFaithApp. Either choice keeps your church's Stripe dashboard. There is no separate
account-creation flow in TheFaithApp.

* Resume unfinished OAuth connections and complete missing information in Stripe.
* Receive gifts only after Stripe confirms the connected account is ready.
* Disconnecting revokes TheFaithApp's access before removing the connection,
  without deleting the Stripe account.
* Accounts with platform controls show the Stripe Dashboard action
  required if they cannot be disconnected automatically.

Existing connections remain in place. Changing accounts does not transfer
Stripe subscriptions or payment history.
