Indeed, that field is required in most scenarios. You can see all the required info for verification purposes here: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/required-verification-information
In the cases of an individual if they don't have a website they can include a URL to a online social profile or something

But we cant expect our private users to have Companies and websites of their own?

In any case, any further questions relating to verification requirements are better suited for support

We wish we could help, but you need to talk to Stripe support
We can only help on Discord if all of the following are true:
- 🧑💻 You must be a developer

verification requirements? Im here on behalf of my developers. They do not know what functionality to implement to not encounter this issue.
Does stripe not have an API for private users to just withdraw money to their stripe accounts that they connect without needing to add a website or company to the mix?
golden hearth
They do, which is what you're implementing. But, as per the link i've shared, even when creating a custom account with business_type: 'individual' like you are a URL is required before a first payout can be processed
There's no integration/functionality to avoid that – it's just a KYC requirement
If you've any specific Qs around that, then support is your best bet 👆
torpid dagger
and if the customer does not have a website?
golden hearth
In the cases of an individual if they don't have a website they can include a UR...
I already recommended a way to 'workaround' that
torpid dagger
Could we hide this field and input our own website, would that be according to stripes rules?
golden hearth
No because the field is a requirement for the account to be verified
Please refer to the link I shared
torpid dagger
It says in the doc that the URL is a business url, could they implement their profile page from our website? Because thats where they market themselves
and thats where they earn their income from
torpid dagger
Thank you
Just one last developer question
Is it possible for us to hide the website field, and automatically fill in the link to their profile to improve the user experience?
golden hearth
You can provide the parameter in your API request to create the Account: https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/create#create_account-business_profile-url
I believe that should hide the field in the onboarding UI
torpid dagger
The only thing im struggling with understanding is we only get 3 options in our current API.
Individual, Company, Non-profit
All these 3 are VAT allowed
there is not a single choice, for private user, where we can ignore vat.
golden hearth
I don't understand the question
torpid dagger
Well PRIVATE users do not need to see VAT information, that's company based
For instance lets say a Company wants to know their vat, thats what they need. A private user does not need this information
golden hearth
OK, but where are you seeing VAT info
torpid dagger
they cant do anything with the vat eitherway
Im not, thats my issue. I want VAT to be displayed for companies while it will not display for private users is my point
golden hearth
But displayed where?
torpid dagger
and we do not have an OPTION to only select a private user, in our current setup we have Individual, Company and Non-Profit, which are all seens as "Company types"
in the payment page on our website?
I thought that was a part of the api, and in the receipt?
golden hearth
OK, we were talking about onboarding a moment ago – please be more verbose in what you're describing
What payments APIs/UIs are you using and where/when do you see VAT?
Screenshot helps too
torpid dagger
I dont see VAT. my point is we need to display VAT for company types when they make a payment using their company card.
At the same time we dont want to display VAT when private users make a payment, but there is no option to select a private user because all users are considered Companies.
-Individual
-Company
-Non Profit
3 kinds of companies

Again, some kind of visual represenation of what you're describing what be helpful as right now I've no idea what you're referencing
