How to Set Up Automated Payments: A Step-by-Step Tutorial

Setting up automated payments is a straightforward process, and in this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the steps. The process consists of two main parts: entering your bank account information and verifying the small deposits made by Stripe.

Part 1: Entering Your Bank Account Information

1. Click on the provided by Helpful Village link to begin the process. This will take you to the payment setup page where you can securely enter your bank account details.

2. Fill in your bank account information in the required fields. Double-check to ensure all information is correct.

2. Return to the same link you used to set up the payment and enter the exact amounts you received in the fields provided.

3. Submit the verification. Once the amounts are confirmed, your automated payment setup will be complete, and no further manual action is required.
