What your BigFan dashboard may say next

1

Stripe ready

You are finished. BigFan can accept support payments and send your share to Stripe.

2

Stripe is reviewing your details

You do not need to start again. Keep an eye on your dashboard and email while Stripe checks the information.

3

Continue with Stripe

Stripe needs one more detail or document. Press Continue with Stripe in your BigFan dashboard.

If you get stuck

The Stripe link says it expired or was already used.

Go back to your BigFan dashboard and press Start Stripe onboarding or Continue with Stripe again. BigFan will make a fresh secure link.

I pressed Save for later.

That is fine. Return to BigFan when you are ready, then press Continue with Stripe. Your progress should still be there.

Stripe is still reviewing my details.

Wait for the review to finish. Do not create another Stripe account. Watch your email and BigFan dashboard for the next request.

Stripe asks for a document.

Use a clear, bright photo with every corner visible. The name and address should match what you typed. Upload it only on the secure Stripe page.

My name or bank account is rejected.

Copy your legal name exactly from your ID and your IBAN exactly from your banking app. Check every letter and number before trying again.
