Why do I need the Stripe app?

Stripe is how you get paid. The app lets you see your money.

When someone buys your artwork on 3Hats, Stripe is the bit that actually:

  • takes the payment

  • sends the money to you

  • shows you when it’s on the way

The Stripe app just lets you see all that in one place.

Think of it like a mini banking app, but only for your art sales.

With it, you can:

  • 👀 See sales as they happen

  • 💸 Check when payouts are coming

Most artists download it once… then barely open it again.

  • 3Hats never touches your bank details

  • Stripe pays you directly

  • Your money stays secure and private

It’s safer for everyone — especially you.

Do I have to download it?

Not strictly. You can use Stripe in a browser.

But the app is handy because:

  • you won’t miss payouts

  • you’ll know straight away if Stripe needs anything

  • no surprise delays

📌 If you’ve ever used PayPal, Etsy, or online banking — this will feel familiar.
