Настройка аккаунта Stripe и обзор панели управления

Let's set up Stripe: create your account, walk through activation, and tour the dashboard's main sections and business settings.

Stripe is a powerful, developer-friendly payments platform with global reach. It scales from startups to enterprises, handling cards through complex subscriptions.

Creating a Stripe account is free and fast — sign up with your email and details, confirm it, and you land straight in the dashboard in test mode.

To take live payments, activate your account with business info, identity verification, and a bank account. Stripe needs this for compliance and security.

The Stripe Dashboard is your command center. The left nav holds Home, Payments, Customers, Products, and Developers — let's explore the key ones.

Home snapshots your balance, recent transactions, and key metrics. Payments is the full ledger where you view charges, refund, and handle disputes.

Customers holds profiles, payment history, and saved methods. Products is where you define items and prices — the foundation for recurring billing.

The Developers section is for integration: API keys (keep the secret key safe!), webhooks for real-time event notifications, and logs for debugging. Use test keys while building.

The Settings gear holds business details, Checkout branding, team and security (permissions, 2FA), and which payment methods you offer customers.

Recap: you learned to create and activate a Stripe account, toured Home, Payments, Customers, Products, and Developers, and found where business settings live.
