For DirhamHost licensees: connecting Stripe

To take card payments from your own customers through DirhamBill, you connect your own Stripe account. This way payments settle directly to you in AED, and you remain the merchant of record for your customers.

The general steps are:

1. Have an active Stripe account for your business (or create one with Stripe).
2. In your DirhamBill settings, open the payment gateway configuration.
3. Connect your Stripe account and save.
4. Send a test invoice to confirm payments flow to your Stripe account.

Once connected, your customers pay their invoices by card and the funds land in your Stripe balance, while DirhamBill handles the invoicing, VAT and renewal automation.

Because this involves your live payment credentials, always enter them yourself within your own secure DirhamBill and Stripe dashboards; never share your Stripe secret keys with anyone. If you would like guidance while you set it up, the Dirham A Day team can walk you through it on WhatsApp at +971 58 553 6767.
