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.

Capturing Magic
In the world of photography, timing is the key to everything. While skilled compositions and technical proficiency are undoubtedly crucial, the perfect lighting can create the perfect photo. Nowadays, we can determine any light ourselves and are no longer dependent on any natural light source, thanks to the developed technology. We can turn every day into a night by using the right filters. And we can illuminate every night to be seen as a day. A typical process, especially in the film industry.

The problem is that Africa isn't listed in vocal media. I live in Nigeria, what can I do?
In order to have a stripe account as far as I know, one's got to have a valid address & phone number as well as tax paying in US. If there won't be alternatives, I'm out of here for I can't even send money for plus. In fact, it'll be better if you guys also work on crypto and pay in crypto as users will convert the amount and endorse the tips, etc, in their own currencies, just an idea.
I need to change my payout method and this story doesn't cover that process.
