👋 Welcome to your new thread!

⏲️ We'll be here soon! Typically we respond in a few minutes, but sometimes we might take a bit longer if the server is busy or if you have a particularly tricky question.

⏱️ We close idle threads, which makes them read-only. Once a thread is closed it won't be reopened, but you can always start a new thread if you have another question.

🔗 This thread will always be available, even after it's closed. You can find it again using Discord's search, or you can save this link: https://discord.com/channels/841573134531821608/1242586179816394892

Hi there!

Hi!

Just to be clear, will you ever need to access this data later or are you hoping to have Stripe verify SSNs on your behalf and all you need to do is determine whether your users' identities have been verified?

We need to access it later. Determining the identity is actually just a nice to have. Capturing and storing the data is the higher priority.

#

Specifically, we need to capture SSNs and then use them to prepare tax documents at the end of the year.

#

and to be clear, you're not using Connect?

#

I'm not familiar with Connect, actually. Which service is that?

gentle niche
#

Connect is our multiparty payment product. Consider a funds flow like Lyft where a customer pays Lyft for a ride and Lyft transfers funds to the driver for the service they provided. In this case, Stripe helps with identity verification (as part of Know Your Customer checks) for the drivers and can also handle tax docs at the end of the year for those drivers

Oh, sorry. Then I am familiar with it. I use it with some other clients.

#

For this project, we aren't doing payments at all, just capturing info.

#

It's a rewards managment system, so sales people can accrue points and then redeem those points as physical goods. If the dollar value of the goods exceeds a threshold during a single year, then we need to issue 1099s.

#

Hence needing to capture SSNs.

Got it, thanks for the context. You should be able to use Identity but note that some of the PII (including ID number/SSN) can only be accessed via the Dashboard or with a restricted key (a key that you create separately from your account's secret key): https://docs.stripe.com/identity/access-verification-results

Great.

#

Also, to what degree can we control the identity verification? For our purposes, the minimal amount of verification is required. Can we, for instance, turn off identity document verification?
