Onboarding is the structured setup process that allows a user to activate payment capabilities inside happ.
During onboarding, the user connects to Stripe Connect and completes identity verification, banking setup and compliance review.
Onboarding ensures that legal, regulatory and financial prerequisites are satisfied before accepting client payments.
Until onboarding is completed successfully, agreements may be drafted and signed, but real payment processing remains inactive.
Onboarding represents the transition from account creation to operational readiness.
