Connect your bank account with Stripe

Set up payouts so money from lessons can reach your bank. Handspring uses Stripe for this.

Updated August 27, 2026

Before you start
Have your bank details and a government ID handy — Stripe may ask for them to verify your account.

Set up payouts#

  1. 1
    Open Settings
    Go to Settings and find the Payouts section.
  2. 2
    Start setup
    Select Set Up Payouts. You're handed off to Stripe to connect a bank account securely.
  3. 3
    Finish Stripe's steps
    Enter your details and complete any verification Stripe requests, then return to Handspring.
Result
Your account is connected and lessons you close out can be paid out to your bank.
Watch for requirements
Stripe sometimes needs more information before it can pay you out. If you see a requirements notice, open it and finish the steps — otherwise payouts stay on hold.

Verify your identity#

Before payouts are enabled, Handspring also needs to confirm your identity. If it's still pending you'll see a Verify your identity to receive payouts banner on your dashboard — click Verify your identity, follow the short Stripe Identity check (it only takes a minute), and you're sent right back when you're done. Standard and instant payouts, and tip payouts, stay blocked until verification is complete.

Setting your payout schedule#

In the same section you can review your payout schedule. To actually move money, see Request a standard payout and Payouts explained.
