1.
Open Settings → Pupil card payments as the school owner.
2.
Choose Start Stripe setup. If setup was started earlier, choose Continue Stripe setup.
3.
Complete Stripe's business, identity and payout requirements using the school's correct details.
4.
Return to DriveBest and choose Refresh Stripe status.
5.
Check that the account is ready to accept charges before offering a card payment.
Only the owner connects or manages the payout account. Open Stripe dashboard opens the provider's account tools. Do not enter card numbers into school notes or support messages.
Set the tuition rate
Use Settings → Tuition pricing → Default hourly rate (£), then Save tuition settings. Check the pupil's rate and each lesson price before taking payment; a changed default does not rewrite every earlier booking.
If setup is incomplete
Continue the Stripe setup and complete any requested checks. Refresh the status after returning. If payment controls remain unavailable, check the school licence and the displayed Stripe status. Do not record a card payment as received just because onboarding opened successfully.
This connection is for pupil tuition payments into the school's own Stripe account. Your DriveBest subscription is managed separately under Billing & school licence.
