How to make Stripe account

To make a Stripe account, visit the Stripe website and click "Sign up." Enter your email, create a password, and provide business details including your legal name, address, and tax identification. Next, add bank account information where you want to receive payouts. Stripe will verify your identity by requesting documents such as a government-issued ID and proof of address. Once verified, you can integrate Stripe's payment gateway into your website or app using their API and start accepting payments.

However, Indian freelancers and exporters often find that Stripe's payout process can be slow and involves multiple currency conversions. For a faster, more cost-effective solution, consider Skydo, an RBI-authorised platform designed specifically for receiving international payments. The Stripe overview on Skydo's website compares features, fees, and timelines to help you choose the best option for your cross-border payment needs.
