Match Officials will require a Connect account to be set up before payments can be processed by your referee branch. Dribl utilises Stripe as the payments platform to process online payments.

> ℹ️ **Tips before you start:**
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ - Complete all fields as you go. Although not all fields are required on the first pass, they will need to be completed when you reach the summary. Save time by completing them upfront.
> ℹ️ - There is no ‘back’ button. Once you select the Type of Business, you will not be able to change it as it dictates the process that follows.
> ℹ️ - Select “Individual/Sole Trader” if you do not have an ABN.
> ℹ️ - If you are less than 18 years of age, you will still login with your Dribl account but ensure that you have a parent or guardian with you while creating your Connect Account.
> ℹ️ - Gather the following items of information for yourself or a parent/guardian depending on your age. This includes: full name, date of birth, address, phone number, email, scans of identification documents, bank account details.
> ℹ️ - Please note that no Dribl representative can activate your connected account on your behalf. Should you experience any issues related to your ID checks not completing, you can contact Stripe support via [https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true.](https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true.)


### How to create a Connect account

1. [Login](https://app.dribl.com/signin/) to ***DRIBL*** web admin with Referee Dribl access
2. Select your **referee branch** via the club list
3. Select the **Referee Payments**  icon (Located top right corner of screen)
4. Select Connect Account Account icon

> 📝 If you do not already have a Connect Account, the system will prompt to create one now. The stripe account setup will default to your Dribl login email address, we recommend using this same email address.

5. After selecting Create Account you will be sent to the Stripe setup wizard to enter your contact number & email address to start the process. If you are setting up an account on behalf of a minor, use their details.
6. Pressing Continue will send an activation code to the mobile number entered. Every time you access the Stripe dashboard, you will need to verify in the same way.
7. Enter your organisation type. Simply select: **Individual/Sole Trader** and click continue.
8. Enter your personal details. If you are setting up an account on behalf of a minor, use their details. Click continue.
9. Enter business details. For this section always select Membership Organizations → Other Membership Organizations. Select **add a product description instead** and enter the product description as: **Referee services**. Click continue.
10. Enter the details of the bank account you would like Stripe to send your payouts to. The form will change dynamically depending on the country requirements. Use your bank details if you are setting up a connected account and you are 18 years of age or older. Use your child’s bank details if you are creating the connected account for them and they have a bank account. Use Parent/Guardian bank details if you are creating the connected account for your child and they **DO NOT** have a bank details. Click save.
11. Review the summary of the details that have been entered and update any missing information as needed. Agree & Submit.
12. KYC checks will kick in at the end of the process if Stripe cannot automatically verify your details from what has been entered already. The KYC will require the identification of the **adult **registering the connected account. Choose to either take a photo of yourself using your phone or webcam or simply upload a file. You may also be required to upload a scan of one of the following ID documents: Drivers License, Identity Card, Birth Certificate, Passport. Click next to finish the process.
