  <Step title="Connect a Stripe Express account">
    ShareThat uses [Stripe Express](https://support.stripe.com/express/topics/account) to automatically send payouts to your bank account, debit card, or crypto wallet. You can easily download tax forms and see upcoming payouts.

    Create an account if you don't have one. You will need to provide the following details:

    * **Email**
    * **Phone Number**
    * **Country where you operate your business**
    * **Type of business**
    * **Legal first and last name**
    * **Website** (Typically your TikTok account, YouTube Channel, or Instagram account)
    * **Connect a Bank account or Debit card** (Debit card payouts are typically faster)

    <Note>**Why is this required?** To automatically send payouts on time, reduce fraud, and stay compliant with tax requirements. ShareThat will send you a 1099 tax form if you meet the annual income requirement.</Note>
