Create an account

Learn how to activate and manage your Stripe account.

You can begin using your Stripe account in testing environments as soon as you create it. In a sandbox, you can simulate using all of Stripe’s features without moving real money. After you activate your account, you can accept payments, create additional accounts, start a team, and set up a custom email domain.

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.
