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.
