I have a company that receives 10M a year in payments. I’ve thought about just integrating stripe into our software so that I can completely move away from Quickbooks.
We receive some really large transactions and I’m worried that stripe may flag these or hold funds.
Anyone have any tips?
Edit*
I need software that has API so that I can integrate it into my platform.
Selling into new markets? Wondering when you need to register, what to collect, or how filing works?

Hello there,
My Delaware LLC was just incorporated with Stripe Atlas, although I’m not able to create a bank account anywhere. I’ve tried Revolut, Wise, Airwallex, and many more.
None of them provide services to Iraqi residents.
Is there any bank I’m missing?
Hey all, looking for anyone with advice or real experience here before I apply.
I run a small fantasy sports site in a niche market with a few thousand users. It's free to play right now. For future seasons, I wanted to add an optional paid tier (no more than $25/year) to cover hosting, dev costs, and my time.
My original idea was to create an optional paid league where users could enter and compete for a year-end grand prize. I recently learned that Stripe's prohibited list includes "fantasy sports leagues with a monetary or material prize." So I'm trying to figure out where the line actually sits, or whether just being a fantasy sports site rules us out no matter how we set things up.
Here are the three models I'm considering:
Option 1: Subscription + prizes, open to everyone
Option 2: Subscription + sponsor-provided prizes only, open to everyone
Option 3: Subscription, no prizes at all
My personal qualm is that I never wanted to force people to pay to play, but I also was looking for a reasonable way to at least cover my own costs.
My questions:
To be clear, I'm planning to reach out to Stripe Sales directly. I'm posting here first to hear from anyone who's actually been through this. Thanks!
I have a digital product where I sell data to users once a month. I am experiencing really low payment success rates on the renewals. I get the generic decline codes (insuff funds, do not honor, etc). I am wondering if there is anything I can do, or if it's just low quality customers that can't pay or use disposable cards. I have tried all the optimisation features in stripe.
We bill on usage, nightly job sums the day's events and pushes them to stripe as usage records and it's been running fine for over a year.
Last Tuesday morning support got 4 tickets, all about getting double bills. I opened the invoices and they looked... fine? usage numbers are plausible, nothing weird
But it took us 2 days to see it, the aggregation job timed out at 2am, our scheduler retried it and the retry pushed the same usage again. stripe didnt know it's a duplicate, it just saw more usage and billed them twice
every invoice was internally consistent but fundamentally wrong
This fiasco ended with 31 customers, $6,200 in refunds and one enterprise account that now wants a monthly usage export to cross verify now
The fix was boring, an idempotency key on every event at the source and not at sync time and a check that flags any customer whose usage jumps 80%+ vs last period before the invoice finalizes.
the issue is that nothing was alerted, no errors or failed jobs
Does anyone else get burned by retries in billing? How are you de-duping usage?
So I am trying to connect the stripe account for my alignerr project but it says for Indian individual to receive international money it should be sole proprietor or a registered company but I don't have any of those as I am just an individual trying to earn some money so what should I do ahead.
Should I register myself as a sole proprietor and for business name should I give my name but will there be any consequences after giving such information?
Or I can just register as an individual but it is I will not be able to receive money so how would be I able to earn after completing the project please help me

Holy bejeesus, it's impossible to communicate with someone at Stripe. So here I am.
I'm setting up an online business using a third party client portal, called ManyRequests. Their product has an out of the box integration with Stripe, and they serve up the Stripe checkout on my site.
My client base are larger institutional non-profits, like museums, universities, foundations, etc.
The third-party platform has a module in settings called "Tax" that lets me create tax rate entries. These have a tax rate field, and a region/state field. Presumably, these entries apply at checkout, relative to the client's zipcode field. Creating these tax entries is a manual process, but more importantly, doesn't help me track "nexus" outside of my physical location. So I don't currently use the module.
In my Stripe dash, I have my region set, which I thought automatically enrolls me in "Stripe Tax", which includes their lovely tax rate automation, and the tracking of nexus outside my location.
The problem:
In my test checkouts, no sales tax is getting applied.
My questions:
Ok, please help, thanks!
EDIT: Just a quick thanks to everyone who chimed in!
Hey, payments from Handshake are processed through Stripe Global Payouts. Since Stripe isn't fully functional in India, how do we get our invoices?
Do we have a Handshake Stripe Express account?It doesn't seem so.
There have been regulatory changes and invoices are necessary now
Is there a way to get the pricing table preview to function like a payment link? I like the multiple pricing options it shows vs a singular pricing link. Thank you!
Question for people running subscriptions on Stripe: of your failed payments, roughly how many come back through Smart Retries and the built-in reminder emails alone? And what do you do with the rest: chase them by hand, use a third-party tool, or let them churn?
Trying to understand whether the built-in recovery is good enough for small subscription businesses, or whether most people end up adding something on top.
I recently signed up for a free trial to test a service I was interested in thinking I would either cancel it or decide whether it was worth paying for. A few days later I completely forgot about it until I noticed the trial was about to turn into a paid subscription.
It made me realize how easy it is to lose track of these things especially when you have several subscriptions with different renewal dates. One trial might end after seven days while another renews after a month so relying only on memory can be risky. Reminder emails they can easily get buried in a busy inbox.
From this i was thinking about how do I avoid unexpected charges. And how do you keep track of your free trials and subscriptions? Do you use calendar reminders, check your bank statements or use an anything else to manage everything in one place?
Basically my dashboard I see two subscriptions started within minutes of diference of each other for the same exact customer (all the information is the same). When I asked him if he had been charged for 2 subscriptions he said no.
Tried reaching out to stripe by email but not sure what’s going on. Has anyone experienced this before?
In addition, and not a related questions, does anyone know if there’s a way to block stripe from taking in card payments from other countries or to impose any third party checking?
