# Configure Stripe in the Unity Dashboard

> Configure Stripe to use the payment provider to handle payments for in-app purchases.

This integration uses Stripe [Managed Payments](https://stripe.com/managed-payments) as the merchant of record (MoR). As the MoR, Stripe assumes the legal responsibility for processing payments, which includes support with tax compliance, fraud prevention, disputes, and customer support. By leveraging Stripe as the MoR, you can significantly reduce your operational overhead and compliance burden for off-platform transactions.

To configure Stripe in the Unity Dashboard, complete the following steps:

1. In the [Unity Dashboard](https://cloud.unity.com), go to **Development** > **Products**.
2. Select **In-App Purchases**.
3. Select **Payment Providers**.
4. In the **Payment Provider Configuration** section, select **Connect**.
5. Select an **Account Type**:
   * Use **Sandbox Account** for testing.
   * Use **Live Account** for your live game.
6. Select **Connect** to open a dialog and link your Unity account with your chosen payment provider account via OAuth.
7. Set **Success Redirect URL** (ideally a deep link into your game).
8. Set **Cancel Redirect URL** (optional; ideally a deep link into your game).
9. Select **Save Configuration**.

> **Important:**
>
> To connect a Live account with Stripe, you first need to meet the Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements. For more information, refer to Stripe's [Identity verification](https://docs.stripe.com/connect/identity-verification) documentation.

> **Note:**
>
> If your game ships on multiple platforms, use a small proxy page to deep link to the correct platform for the Success Redirect URL. For more information, refer to the [Success URL deep link](./success-deep-link.md) example.

| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Setup**                | **Complete**: You've configured all the required fields for the payment provider.**Incomplete**: You're missing a required configuration field and can't activate the payment provider.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| **Connection**           | **Linked**: You've successfully authenticated with the payment provider and installed Unity IAP to link the accounts.**Not Linked**: You need to re-authenticate with your payment provider. For Stripe, this issue can be due to either your app containing gambling (refer to [Prohibited and Restricted Businesses](https://stripe.com/legal/restricted-businesses)) or due to Unity IAP not being installed in Stripe. |
| **Account ID**           | Displays your Stripe account ID. This is obtained during the OAuth process.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |

| **Success Redirect URL** | The URL that the payment provider redirects to after a successful payment. Ideally this is a deep link back into your game.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| **Cancel Redirect URL**  | If provided, Stripe will add a back button to your checkout page and this URL will be its destination.
