            How To View and Change Your Statement Descriptor

            Why does this matter?

            The statement descriptor displays to your customer on their bank statements/credit card bills/Apple Pay notifications. It indicates where the customer spent their money, so it must be explicitly stated as your business.

            Edit Your Statement Descriptor on the Web Dashboard

            1. Log on to the Web Dashboard. Once signed in, select Finance > Payouts > Settings:

            2. Once you've set up your Stripe Account, a statement descriptor will be automatically set based on your Stripe Account.
            Note:

            The automatically set statement descriptor often isn't your business's name. Small businesses without websites may get "INSTAGRAM.COM" or "FACEBOOK.COM".

            1. Edit your statement descriptor by clicking the Edit button on the right:
