# How to Link a Payout Account for your Event

One benefit of hosting an event on Challonge is the easy ability to have attendees pay for tickets and merchandise. Linking one payment account via [Stripe](https://kb.challonge.com/en/article/using-stripe-1zaz62/) to the event allows for easily collection of funds.

| To do this, first click on the 'Link' button on the 'Event Dashboard'
