Hey @shauns,

Great question!

Stripe is only available to select countries, so you'll first need to be operating from an eligible country. You can check the list of available payment providers for your country by going to our payment provider page and selecting the country you're operating from. If you do not see Stripe listed, then you will not be able to connect your account and will require using a different payment provider. If you do see Stripe available, then you'll be able to enable the payment provider by going to Settings/Payment Providers. 

Although, because you mentioned that you are based in Australia, you should consider using Shopify Payments as Stripe will not be available. Shopify Payments is backboned by Stripe and offers many of the same features. However, it will not be possible to connect your Stripe account to Shopify Payments as Shopify Payments is a separate entity. 

If you have any issues connecting Stripe, questions about Shopify Payments, or selecting a new payment provider, let me know!
