How to setup Stripe account in India

To set up a Stripe account in India, visit Stripe's website and click "Start now" or "Sign up." You'll need to provide your business details, PAN, GST information (if applicable), and bank account details for payouts. Stripe will verify your information, which can take a few business days. Once approved, you can integrate Stripe's payment gateway into your website or app using their API and documentation. Keep in mind that Stripe's fees and settlement times vary, and some Indian businesses explore Stripe alternatives for cross-border collections.
