Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out. I understand that you would like to create a Stripe account in India. Let me further check into this.

Upon checking, Stripe is still in the process of expanding its availability in India and is currently on an invite-only basis. You can sign up on our website to receive an invitation if you are able to meet certain criteria [0].

Please note that we are supporting a limited number of businesses at this stage, primarily focusing on international expansion. For more information, you may visit our dedicated page for FAQs [1].

Also, since you mentioned that you already have an existing business in the US, we highly recommend signing up with us directly if you haven't yet [2]. This is a better option if your goal is to cater to your customers using your business there.

For more information, you may visit our public document here [3]. Please feel free to reach out if you need any further assistance or have additional questions. I’m here to help.

Best regards,

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out. I appreciate your interest in creating a Stripe account in India. Allow me to look into this.

Upon checking, Stripe is currently available in India on an invite-only basis. This means that businesses cannot sign up directly through our website. Instead, you'll need to request an invitation through our sales team.

To get started:

Please visit https://stripe.com/in/contact/sales to submit your request for an invitation.

In your request, include details about your business, particularly highlighting any international expansion plans, as we're currently focusing on supporting businesses with global ambitions.

Our team will review your application and reach out with next steps.

Please note that Stripe in India currently supports registered businesses (sole proprietorships, limited liability partnerships, or companies) but not individuals. During the application process, you'll need to provide:

Business registration documents

PAN details

Bank account information for payouts

IEC (Importer Exporter Code) if you plan to accept international payments

While waiting for your invitation, you can explore our documentation at https://docs.stripe.com/india-accept-international-payments to learn more about Stripe's services in India.

In the meantime, in order to give you an efficient response regarding your US business, could you please tell me more about it? I’m here to help.

Best,

Hi there,

Thank you for contacting us, I know how important it is for you to create an account in India, rest assured that I will point you in the right direction.

Upon reviewing, Stripe payments processing is currently not yet available in India. Since Stripe services are an invite only in India, this means that businesses from India must request an invite and aren't able to sign-up for a new Stripe account through our website. We are only able to support a select number of businesses, with a focus on international expansion [0].

However, since you already have a US based business, you can consider creating a Stripe account and start accepting local payments in India by visiting this link [1].

I hope to hear back from you soon so that we can get this taken care of for you, and please feel free to include any other questions that you may have. I’ll be on the lookout for your response.

Regards,

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out to Stripe and for your interest in growing your business with us. Let me guide you in the right direction.

As of this moment, Stripe is available by invite only in India, and currently only supporting businesses with a focus on international expansion. If you want to create an account for your business in India, you need to request an invite by signing up on our website [0]. Stripe will evaluate your business case, particularly focusing on whether you're expanding internationally.

You can consider this option if you need to process local payment methods in India and offer India-specific payment methods like UPI or Netbanking.

For more details about the information mentioned above, feel free to visit our website's FAQ section[1].

Moreover, since you mentioned having a business in the US, you can create a US-based Stripe account and start accepting payments globally, including India.

To start using Stripe for your US registered business:

Go to our website [2] and create a new account.

Once done, you will see the “Welcome to Stripe” and will be asked to provide the following:

Business name

Website

After clicking Continue, you will be asked how to use Stripe and if no selections are made, you can click “Go to Dashboard”.

You will land on Dashboard home with a "setup guide" and landing state in Sandbox where it includes a list of tasks and guides you through setting up a product integration.

After completing the setup, you will be asked to verify your business. Please see this link to see acceptable verification documents for the United States [3].

After completing the account application "verify your business", click on the "Get your live account" button in the top right corner of the Dashboard.

Fill out the requested information in the form.

Please take note, this won't give you the ability to accept local payment methods in India.

I hope that the options I have provided will work for you. Should you have any other questions and clarifications, feel free to reply to this email. I’m here to help you out.

Best,
