# Managing Payout Accounts in the Merchant Dashboard

Once you've successfully connected your store to various apps, you can view and manage your payout accounts in the Merchant Dashboard. Each app connection requires its own dedicated payout account. This ensures clear separation of payments and proper routing of funds for each integration.

## App-Specific Payout Management

The Merchant Dashboard lets you manage payouts for each connected app individually at <https://merchant.violet.io/settings/payouts>. Here you'll find a list of all connected apps with their payout accounts, including prompts to set up accounts for new connections. You can also access payout accounts for previously connected apps, even if they're currently disconnected.

## Platform Payment Providers

Many apps use their own Stripe payment platforms, requiring a direct payout account setup through their system. When setting up these accounts, you'll first need to select your banking country. After this initial step, you'll be redirected to Stripe to complete the onboarding process. For more information on setup options, see our guide on [choosing your Stripe account type](/interacting-with-violet/getting-paid/setting-up-a-payout-account.md#choosing-your-stripe-account-type). Once complete, you will have a working Stripe payout account connected to the app's payment platform that can receive payouts.

## Account Migration Options

If you need to migrate between different types of Stripe accounts, you can do so in the merchant dashboard. For more information, see our guide on [Connecting a new Stripe Account for Payouts](/interacting-with-violet/getting-paid/connecting-new-stripe-accounts.md).
