Open Management → Settings → Payments to check the school's Stripe connection and available payment methods. Complete the connection flow before relying on card checkout, then verify that the intended method is selectable when composing an offer. School payment configuration is an administrative responsibility, not a closer permission by default.
The connection and payment-method settings are screen flows. The public API does not connect a Stripe account. Refund handling is not currently available as a Cohorte workflow.
New monthly plans require a usable connected account. Configure Stripe Billing recovery emails, authentication reminders, successful-payment confirmations and retries in your Stripe dashboard. Cohorte does not activate these settings automatically or replace Stripe’s native email templates. Stripe Billing charges its own fees separately from any commercial split-payment surcharge.
