How to connect your Stripe account
to receive payments for sales
To sell on Sceido and receive your earnings, you must connect a Stripe Express account. It’s the secure system that handles payments: when a buyer purchases one of your fragrances, the amount is credited to the bank account you specify during this process. Registration takes just a few minutes and is a one-time process.
Step by step
The step-by-step procedure
Start the
connection
On the “Payment Setup” screen, click the dark “Connect with Stripe” button. The Stripe form will open.
Enter your
personal information
On the “Verify your personal information” page, fill in your first and last name, email address, date of birth (DD/MM/YYYY), and home address. Your first and last name, email address, and address are usually pre-populated because they are linked to your Sceido registration.
Add your account
for bank transfers
Immediately after entering your personal information, on the “Add a bank transfer account” screen, choose your currency (EUR), the account country, and enter your IBAN twice. Then click Continue: this will accept the SEPA payment mandate.
Start data
verification
On the “Review and Submit” screen, in the personal information section, a red message will appear saying “Invalid.” Click Edit to review and confirm your information.
The Business Type section on this page refers to Sceido’s business activity and does not need to be taken into account: it is already pre-populated with the link to your shop.
Confirm
your details
Once you click Edit Personal Data, the “Are these personal details correct?” screen opens. The Edit Details button always appears here: this is a standard confirmation step. Check that the information is correct and click “This is correct” to continue (use “Edit Details” only if something really needs to be changed).
If necessary,
confirm your identity:
Upload the document
Stripe may perform an additional security check and require verification of a valid ID. Complete the “Verify Identity” step by uploading the required document. The information entered in the form must match your ID.
Confirm user
data page
On the “Review & Submit” page, check all the sections and click Accept & Submit (or Confirm) at the bottom to send the request to Stripe.
Complete the
payment setup
Payment setup is required. Click the green “Complete Onboarding” button and confirm your details again.

You’ll see the message “Your account is connected with Stripe Express” with your Merchant ID (a code starting with “acct_”). Click Continue.
Store ready
The final “Your store is ready!” screen appears. Click “Log in to your store dashboard!” and from that moment you can publish your ads and receive payments.
If you interrupted
the procedure
halfway
The message “You have not completed the Stripe onboarding process” will reappear. Click the green “Complete Onboarding” button to pick up where you left off. The red “Cancel Onboarding” button cancels everything.
You can resume the process from your seller dashboard, by clicking directly on the link in the failure message or in the Settings > Payment section.
When your first
payout arrives
The first payout takes 7-14 days, few days longer than the ones that follow. Stripe holds it for around 7 to 14 days after your first successful sale, for a standard security check Stripe runs once for every new seller. After this first payout, payments follow a regular schedule and become much faster. In the meantime, you can always see the incoming amount in the Balance section of your Stripe dashboard, along with the estimated payout date. More details in the official Stripe documentation.
