How Pai Works Right Now

Pai by GovPrepare currently helps users get set up with Stripe

Stripe offers tools such as Payment Links, mobile dashboard features, and Tap to Pay support on compatible devices. Pai by GovPrepare helps you understand how to begin with those tools, what information you need, and what the setup process looks like today.

GovPrepare does not replace Stripe or control final onboarding decisions. Stripe determines account approval, verification requirements, supported payment features, and payout availability.

Step 1

Book your free session

Choose one-on-one live guidance or request phone support from GovPrepare.

Step 2

Create or review your Stripe account

GovPrepare helps you understand Stripe signup, onboarding, and the basic setup flow.

Step 3

Prepare your payout details

Most users should be ready with identification, an active bank account, and an email address or mobile phone.

Step 4

Start sharing payment options

Once setup is complete, Stripe can let you share payment links and other supported payment experiences more easily.

Why Stripe is useful for mobile payments

Stripe gives users multiple ways to begin accepting payments without needing a full custom system from day one. That makes it useful for people who need a simple, mobile-friendly starting point.

Payment Links

Create a hosted payment page and share it by text, email, or message without building a full website.

Card and wallet support

Stripe supports cards and other supported digital payment methods depending on the account and country.

Dashboard mobile app

Users can manage payments, create links, and access mobile tools directly from their phone.

Tap to Pay options

Compatible devices may support contactless in-person payments through Stripe’s Tap to Pay setup.

What you need to get started

To begin setup, users should be ready with the core information typically needed for onboarding and payouts.

Identification

Stripe may require identity verification information depending on account type, country, and requested capabilities.

Active bank account

You generally need an active bank account so payouts can be sent after successful payments and approval.

Email address or mobile phone

You should have a working email address or phone number for account setup, communication, and access.
