Using Stripe as your SimplePart payment processor

What you’ll need before setup

Before activating Stripe, you’ll need some basic business and banking information on hand. This helps Stripe verify your business and ensure your payouts go to the correct account.

Your business or finance office is usually the best resource for providing this information. 

You’ll typically need:

• Business name, address, and Tax ID (EIN)

• Bank account and routing numbers for deposits

• Ownership and director details

• Date of birth and Social Security Number (for identity verification, if applicable)

You will submit this information directly to Stripe, not SimplePart. These requirements follow standard banking and anti-fraud regulations. 

For more information, see Stripe’s guides on:

• Identity Verification Requirements

• Company Ownership & Director Requirements

• Privacy Policy

Note: Stripe has a mandatory 7-day waiting period before your first payout is processed. You can learn more about payout timing here.
