Connecting Your Stripe Account
Once you connect Stripe to Vocal, you can start earning.
We’re all about keeping things simple; that’s why Vocal uses Stripe to process payments for creators. Connecting Stripe to your Vocal account is quick, easy and required to receive payments on Vocal. When you’re ready to withdraw your earnings, your balance will be transferred to your Stripe account. No waiting, no headaches–just connect and let the money flow.
Benefits of Connecting Stripe
You may already know that Vocal pays you for your stories, but that’s only one of the ways creators get paid on Vocal.
Our Tipping feature allows creators to accept payments on their profile and stories. To enable Tipping, simply connect Stripe from your Wallet. Tips are sent directly to your Stripe account and there is no minimum to withdraw.
We have made it easy for anyone to send a tip to you. Contributors do not need a Vocal or Stripe account, and can send tips with a credit/debit card or Apple Pay. Contributors can save their details, connected to an email address and a phone number, and pay with a single tap.

Ever since I was a young lad, my only goal in life was to be a member of The Elementals. Instead, I ended up more of a stage prop for a garage band. I have the antics of St. Patrick’s Day to blame. Or perchance it is the ancient curse passed down from my arrogant ancestor Rumpelstiltskin.

I don't understand how to connect to Vocal...
I have made Stripe account, but I can't connect it to Vocal, because my country is not on the list. I am from Croatia. Also, I have clicked USA, can I change it?
I have selected a wrong country my mistake during registration process,i just want to know how it can be fixed. Or is there any problem if the country is selected wrong remains as it is with my real details of my real country? The account will be able to withdraw my money or not ?
Why does it take so long to transfer funds from vocal to stripe?
I have been gifted tips but I keep getting a message that I have to fix my stripe account? how can i disconnect the stripe account and reconnect a new one?
