00:00:00.201 --> 00:00:04.867
In this episode we do two things on the business page: serve your business on your

2
00:00:04.867 --> 00:00:08.281
own domain, and connect Stripe so it can take card payments.

3
00:00:09.234 --> 00:00:13.720
Your business already has an address on the platform domain. The Custom hostnames

4
00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:18.206
card shows the address of your online store too, which the platform gives you for

5
00:00:18.206 --> 00:00:22.582
free. You can serve either one at your own domain, once you prove the domain is

6
00:00:22.582 --> 00:00:22.914
yours.

7
00:00:23.264 --> 00:00:28.607
Next to the Add button is a choice: A new name is for the Back office, or for the

8
00:00:28.607 --> 00:00:34.148
Online store. We want the shop on its own domain, so open the choice and pick Online

9
00:00:34.148 --> 00:00:34.544
store.

10
00:00:34.894 --> 00:00:39.934
Type the domain name, here shop dot example dot com, and press Add.

11
00:00:40.284 --> 00:00:45.717
The hostname is listed as pending, and marked online store. The card gives you two

12
00:00:45.717 --> 00:00:51.282
ways to prove you control it. The first is a DNS record: a TXT record with this name

13
00:00:51.282 --> 00:00:55.324
and this value, which you create where you manage the domain.

14
00:00:55.673 --> 00:01:00.901
The second is to serve a small text file at this exact web address, with this exact

15
00:01:00.901 --> 00:01:03.673
text in it. Use whichever is easier for you.

16
00:01:04.024 --> 00:01:09.522
Then point the name at the online store service, with a CNAME or an A record. The

17
00:01:09.522 --> 00:01:15.156
card says that its certificate is issued automatically, so there is nothing more to

18
00:01:15.156 --> 00:01:19.704
set up. Once both are in place, Verify now checks the name at once.

19
00:01:20.055 --> 00:01:24.793
The console already checked the name once, when we added it. We made this domain up,

20
00:01:24.793 --> 00:01:29.137
so that check failed, and the card tells us why on the Last check line. Press

21
00:01:29.137 --> 00:01:33.537
Refresh to see it. The hostname stays pending, and the console checks again by

22
00:01:33.537 --> 00:01:37.655
itself from time to time, so you do not have to keep pressing the button.

23
00:01:38.006 --> 00:01:43.215
Now card payments. The Payments card says Not connected. Cards are paid through your

24
00:01:43.215 --> 00:01:46.006
own Stripe account, so the money goes to you.

25
00:01:46.356 --> 00:01:50.598
Press Connect with Stripe. The console sends you to Stripe, to finish setting up

26
00:01:50.598 --> 00:01:50.916
there.

27
00:01:51.265 --> 00:01:56.123
This is Stripe's side. On the real Stripe you fill in your business details and your

28
00:01:56.123 --> 00:02:00.865
bank account. In this practice setup, Stripe is a stand-in that completes at once.

29
00:02:01.215 --> 00:02:05.874
When you are done, Stripe sends you back to the console. The console checks with

30
00:02:05.874 --> 00:02:08.495
Stripe that setup is finished, and tells you.

31
00:02:08.846 --> 00:02:13.686
Payments connected. Your Stripe account is connected and can take card payments, and

32
00:02:13.686 --> 00:02:18.526
its account number is shown. The page was loaded afresh, so use Sign in to carry on.

33
00:02:18.874 --> 00:02:21.514
Open the business again and look at the Payments card.

34
00:02:23.531 --> 00:02:28.773
It now shows the connected Stripe account, in place of the Connect button. Cards are

35
00:02:28.773 --> 00:02:29.771
paid through it.

36
00:02:30.124 --> 00:02:35.314
In the next episode we export all your data, in an encrypted archive that only you

37
00:02:35.314 --> 00:02:35.884
can open.
