   1. If you've selected Company as your business type: you'll be asked for your business name and address:
      
      

      

      
      Note about Statement Descriptors
      

      A statement descriptor is what will be shown on your client's bank account or credit card statements when you charge them through Stripe. What you input into will the "Legal business name" field will be the statement descriptor for your transactions should you choose to leave the "Doing business as" (optional) field blank. If your Legal business name is lengthy or might not be recognizable to your clients on their statements, you can use the "Doing business as" field to create a more pointed and specific statement descriptor.
      
      

   2. If you've selected Company as your business type: you'll be asked to provide the details of the business Owner or Administrator who will be managing the Stripe account and overseeing the payments and/or reconciliation process for the practice:

9. After you've completed the account migration, you can navigate back to your Owl account and you will see that you're successfully connected to Owl Stripe Connect:

Note: After re-onboarding, your account will now be considered a Connected Account under Owl Practice, meaning you will longer have individual access to the Stripe Dashboard. You will still be able to log in to your previous Stripe account to review historical transactions, payouts, and reporting from before the migration, but any new transactions will not be visible here.
