Starting summer 2025 Bandcamp will begin transitioning to a new payment system powered by Stripe. To ensure a smooth transition and avoid any interruptions to your payouts, we recommend updating to the new payment system as soon as possible.
*Please note that we aren’t yet processing payments through Stripe, so no payouts will be made to your Stripe account at this time.
To add a new Stripe payout account, go here and click on the ‘+ Create payment account’ button:
You’ll see a pop-up asking you to have your bank and business info ready. The setup can take up to 15 minutes, so be sure you have a little time before you start! Click ‘Next’ when you have all your required information handy.
Select the country where your bank account is registered. The information you will be asked to give may change based on the country you pick. When ready, click ‘Continue to Stripe’; this will prompt the Stripe website to open in a new tab. You will then be prompted to input an email address to create a Stripe account, but if you already have one, Stripe will recognize your email address and prompt you to log in.
Once your email address has been submitted, you will be prompted to verify your account via your phone number.
The next step is to select your business type. You can choose between three types:
- Individual/Sole Trader
- Company
- Non-profit
If you’re a smaller artist and haven’t yet set up a business entity, you’ll want to choose ‘Individual / Sole Trader’.
The next part of this process is verifying your details by inputting your legal name and date of birth, then inputting your bank details. You will then be prompted to review that all your details are correct.
