Guide summary
MSP Ranked uses Stripe-hosted Checkout and treats Stripe subscription events as the payment authority.
Checkout is hosted by Stripe
Stripe handles the payment collection experience for the Preferred Partner subscription.
- Complete checkout through the Stripe-hosted page opened from the MSP signup flow.
- Use accurate billing contact information so receipts and subscription records are correct.
- Review plan terms and refund policy before completing purchase.
Stripe is the payment authority
MSP Ranked should not treat a manual profile-field change as the source of truth for paid status.
- Stripe subscription events confirm active, canceled, or incomplete payment state.
- Account activation follows confirmed subscription state rather than manual profile edits alone.
- Billing support should reconcile Stripe first when payment status looks incorrect.
After checkout
Once Stripe confirms the subscription, MSP Ranked can connect the payment state to the partner account.
- You may be directed to an activation or status page while confirmation completes.
- If the status does not update, use the billing support path rather than repurchasing blindly.
- Profile completion, AI readiness, and trust review remain separate account tasks.
