Connecting Stripe is quick, and there is one step that is easy to miss.
Your Stripe account does not need to use the same email address as your Scaled Creator account.
The step people miss
When you connect Stripe you will see a success notification, but you are not done yet. There is a form on that same popup that has to be submitted before you leave the Become an Affiliate page: https://www.scaledcreator.com/become_an_affiliate
If you close out after the success message without submitting that form, your Stripe details do not save and the system keeps asking you to connect Stripe again.
Complete and submit the popup form right after connecting, before navigating away. That is what saves it.
If Stripe still will not save after that, email [email protected] with the email address on your Scaled Creator account.
