How to create Stripe account without a phone number

Hello all, in this article I will tell you about the international payment acceptance system for businesses and startups. I will also show you how to create a Stripe account.

About the Service

Stripe is a company founded in September 2011 by brothers from Ireland. Well-known partners of the service include Facebook, Kickstarter, TED, Amazon, and even Faceit (you can watch our video about it). The platform offers many out-of-the-box solutions. Not only can you accept payments, but you can also verify your identity online without worrying about data breaches.

Stripe Atlas

Mentioning that the platform accepts payments for startups is not just a passing note. Stripe has launched a program called Atlas, which helps startups launch their ideas anywhere in the world with minimal paperwork. For just $500 + $100 annually, you get:
– Assistance with registering a company in the state of Delaware.
– State fees.
– Documents to incorporate a company charter and protect intellectual property.
– Tools for issuing stock to the founders.
– Filing of the taxpayer application.
– All the legal document templates necessary for the operation of the company.

How to Create a Stripe Account

To start using all the features of this service, you need to create an account:

  1. Click the orange button in the upper right corner of the main page and find the “Sign up” button.
  2. You will only need an email, a password, and to enter your first and last name.
  3. Check your email and confirm your account by clicking the link in the confirmation email.

At this point, you’ll have access to your personal account, but you will be in test mode. To unlock the full features, you need to activate the account.

To do this:

  1. Go to the upper right corner and find the test mode switch.
  2. Hover over it and click the link to verify the account.
  3. You’ll need to have an active business (if not, see the section above about Atlas).
  4. Enter all the necessary information about your business and payment details. Ensure everything is accurate.
  5. You will also need to enable two-factor authentication, which requires SMS confirmation.

Using Virtual Numbers

For two-factor authentication, you can either use your own number or a rental. I highly recommend using virtual numbers for service registrations. SMSOTPVERIFY offers a wide range of countries and services at affordable prices.

For two-factor authentication, a standard OTP number may not be suitable, as multiple confirmations are often required. I suggest renting a number for a longer term, such as several months. This way, you won’t need to worry about running out of balance or receiving unwanted spam—only the messages you request.

To rent a number for the long term:

  1. Go to the “rent” tab.
  2. Select a country and the rental period.
  3. The longer the period, the better, so you don’t have to frequently change your number.
