hi simon i have really problem with my stripe account i forget my password & when i try to reset the sent me confirmation code in my old phone number that i dont have access , i try all to fix this issue i dont know what can i do , also i dont have access to chat support , can you help me in this, thanks

[@simongondeck]

@@user-nx6bj7fu6x Go to support.stripe.com/ and fill out the widget on the bottom right hand corner. You have to either have them call you or email them. If you have a new phone number they most likely will require you to verify other things about your account to be able to re-access it.

Hi thanks for the video, just one question. I'm a uk sole trader (sole proprietor), but i have an office address and a trading name (not my personal name). How do i register as a sole trader (sole proprietor) in Stripe but then instead of putting my home address, i can put my office address and trading name instead of real name. I don't want my customers to see my personal name and home address. I'm guessing i can't put a business name where it says real name, but what if I put an office address for the home address part, would this be and get accepted? Thanks

Hey bro, idk if you still take questions, im gonna give ita try, so i was a stripe account for my old website(eCommerce) and now i closed that site, and didnt have any disputes or outstandings, now im trying to integrate the same account to my new site but it keeps saying (payouts and charges are paused, resolve now) i submit the details and then it says "im not eligible to use stripe and then after few days it goes back to asking me for details) and btw i had gotten a dispute from a customer a years ago which i won but somehow, dispute fees that stripe charges popped up in my outstanding, but it wont let me add funds cuz im from india, im stuck, please help bro

[@jjolatunji3225]

isnt this possible without ssn?

[@TruthSeeeker777]

Thank you again for your videos. Quick question however, I set up Stripe and enabled taxes but we just got another order and it says ZERO tax takin out. No matter what I do it wont add tax to the sale. Any thoughts?

[@simongondeck]

Yes for sure! What you need to do is download the WooCommerce Tax plugin to setup taxes to automatically calculate during checkout process: woocommerce.com/products/tax/?aff=24778. Another option is to use Avalara Tax: woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-avatax/?aff=24778

[@matth3025]

If someone selects individual and not “LLC/Company” do you recommend they put their full name on statement descriptor or their potential business name? Wouldn’t want to get in trouble with the bank for any payments.

[@AestheticViruss]

Hey Simon, in my country stripe is not supported ,so I have question.. Can my friend live who live in country that is supported Stripe create account and give it to me so I just need to set up my bank account on Stripe?

[@simongondeck]

I would recommend using Stripe Atlas to create a business in the US: stripe.com/atlas. You could also go the route of using your friend and that could be a temporary solution but you'll need to at some point have his name on your business/tax documents.

[@tracyke254]

Can I set up stripe if am from Africa?

[@FrankVoce]

Yes, I do have a question. I created an account, but Stripe keeps coming back to show them a website and the products (digital products like ebboks, reports, video courses). The thing is, I do not have them ready, I wanted to have my Stripe account ready in the first place

[@carlosalfaro5719]

Hi.. do you need ITIN number in the account?. Or only EIN?

[@simongondeck]

If you have an EIN you should not need a ITIN number unless you do not have a SSN.

[@Pain-oc5hy]

Does it cost to make this account or is it free and u only pay a % on payments etc?

[@simongondeck]

It's free! You only pay a percentage on every payment. For example, 2.9% on each payment which is the industry standard.

[@unfortunatewitnessX]

OK, but what if I'm a game developer on Roblox? What do I put in to get my Stripe account 🤔?

[@jatejm]

I still don't understand what the statement descriptor means, so can you please explain it a little bit more, what do I need to write there?

[@simongondeck]

The safest way would just be to write the name of your LLC or website name (doing business name). For example, if I owned Nike I could simply write “Nike”

[@jatejm]

@@simongondeck thank you man

[@vijayantkumarparyal2480]

Can you please help I'm not getting the Venmo option in mobile ??

You cannot use Venmo with Stripe. You would have to use PayPal to get Venmo.

[@filipandersson8935]

So if I want to recive a payment I share my API key?

[@simongondeck]

Your API key is useful if you are connecting to an external payment provider. If you just want to setup a payment link just login into your Stripe account and create a payment link at dashboard.stripe.com/payment-links

[@deborahdapo3210]

Can you please help me? I just need to now how to make payments. I do not have a bussiness

[@simongondeck]

You can still sign up for a Stripe account without registering a business. You would sign up as a sole proprietorship and use your Social Security Number when signing up. Does this help?

[@nickanxD]

Whenever I put in my business website, I get the following error code "Domain couldn't be verified. The SSL certificate doesn't look valid."

Try to use Stripe Atlas to create a business in US. See more here: stripe.com/atlas

[@ma4308]

I do not have a business phone number, only my personal number. What do I do about that part?

[@simongondeck]

I would simply add my personal number for now. If you get a business number in the future you can update to that number.

[@imadchihab7306]

Bro dont believe these youtubers simple.

[@alexandriaguzman6128]

you have to use a url. so your facebook business url. If you end up getting a website then you can change it later. Stipe doesn't have a phone line but on the chat box you can ask them to call you and they will help you through it.

[@alexandriaguzman6128]

A url should work. not a username

[@simongondeck]

You can customize the statement description if you want to. Overall, since you have over 100K I would recommend creating a single member LLC or an LLC using Stripe Atlas: stripe.com/atlas.

[@simongondeck]

Eventually you will need to add banking info. But I believe you can set that up later (once you receive payments from Stripe). I personally use Mercury as a bank for startups (no transaction fees, secure, 20x FDIC limit). Check it out: mercury.com/r/mirror-twin-content

@@k4IIen you need to open up a bank account. Mercury makes that super easy. Once you have a bank account then you can transfer funds in Stripe or PayPal to your bank account. I recommend Mercury cause they make it super easy to open a bank account online.
