What Stripe accounts are used and what is the payment flow?

Atlas uses Stripe as the payment gateway. If you would like to receive funds on the platform, you will need to set up a Stripe account and connect it to the platform.

When creating a Stripe account, you will need to only create a Standard Stripe account. Atlas does not accept or use Express, or Custom Stripe accounts.
