Create a Free Stripe Account

Jot lets you connect your own Stripe account to accept payments directly through your pages. This means you get paid straight to your Stripe account — no middleman, no platform fees beyond standard Stripe processing.

You can use Stripe with checkout builder sections like Single Product Checkout, Sticky Product Checkout, and Cart to sell products, collect payments, and manage orders — all from your Jot pages. Before any of that works, you need a Stripe account.

Sign Up — It's Free

Creating a Stripe account costs nothing. You only pay Stripe's standard processing fee per transaction once you start accepting real payments — there's no setup fee or monthly charge from Stripe itself.

1. Go to stripe.com and click Sign up
2. Enter your email, name, and a password
3. Verify your email address — Stripe sends a confirmation link

That's it — your account exists as soon as you verify your email. You don't need to fill out business details or banking information yet to start testing.

Test Mode vs. Live Mode

Every Stripe account has two separate modes, and it's important to know which one you're in before connecting keys to Jot:

• Test mode — Use fake card numbers (like 4242 4242 4242 4242) to test your checkout flow end-to-end. No real money changes hands. Test mode is on by default for a brand-new account.
• Live mode — Accept real payments from real customers. Stripe requires you to activate your account first — business details, a bank account to receive payouts, and identity verification.

We recommend building and testing your checkout in test mode first, then switching to live keys once you're ready to accept real payments — you can add both test and live key sets to Jot and pick which one each page uses.
