Stripe accounts

Learn how to activate and manage your Stripe account.

Immediately after you create a Stripe account, you can use your account in testing environments. In a sandbox, simulate transactions and use all Stripe features without moving any money. To accept real payments, you must set up your account. If you haven’t already, create a Stripe account.

Stripe generates an ID for your account. This ID is different from your account’s name and uniquely identifies your account. You can find your account ID in your Account and Personal details settings.
