Does Stripe operate in India

Yes, Stripe operates in India, but new accounts are available on an invite-only basis rather than through open sign-up on the Stripe website.

Businesses in India that want to use Stripe need to request an invite through Stripe's support page for India. Stripe approves only a limited number of businesses, with a strong focus on companies involved in exports and international expansion.

  • Eligible businesses: Registered companies, limited liability partnerships (LLPs) and sole proprietorships can be accepted.
  • Ineligible businesses: Non-profits and simple partnerships are not supported.

Stripe in India is built mainly around card payments:

  • Card networks: Stripe accounts in India support Visa, Mastercard and American Express.
  • International payments: Indian merchants can accept card payments in over 135 currencies, with settlement made in Indian Rupees (INR).
  • Local payment methods: Popular domestic options such as UPI, local wallets and net banking are generally not supported.

Before requesting an invite, check whether your business structure is on the eligible list and whether your customers mainly pay from abroad or within India, since domestic payment options are limited. A Stripe overview covering features and fees for Indian businesses can help you judge whether it suits your payment flow.
