Hello, that depends. What kind of Connect charges are you using?
Statement descriptors with a Connect are determined by multiple factors: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/statement-descriptors
Destination charge
But on bank statements clients see our company name and are disputing because don’t recognize
Is a prefix required?
We push the company name and have thus shortened our descriptor but with character limits we really rather fully remove our prefix
👋 happy to help, I'm taking over for @gloomy ether
Hi
yes you could use a prefix
are you using the on_behalf_of parameter?
The customer’s statement uses the connected account’s static component for the following charge types:
Direct charges
Destination charges with on_behalf_of
Separate charges and transfers with on_behalf_of
if you're using the on_behalf_of then the statement would be the Connect Account's static statement
As we’ll just to confirm
yes you could
AFAIK there's no reason why you couldn't do on_behalf_of for US
let me double check, you just put the doubt in my head 😛
Just checked all are OBO in US and Europe
Only counties with cross border payout CBP are not due to the *
Is a prefix needed then? Also how does the express account add statement descriptor (where in the express dashboard)???
you can but it's not required
I was told that a prefix is only required for recipient
@white berry
Can you share the documentation for removing prefix from showing
Also how do we add a number to show in bank statement
Is there a way to push dynamically thru API?
Can you share the documentation for removing prefix from showing
do you already have one set?
Also how do we add a number to show in bank statement
sorry didn't get the question
Stripe allows a company to push a support number that appears on a bank statement
At least with Standard it did
I want to know how we can have our clients company numbers on bank statements
you could always use the suffix https://stripe.com/docs/connect/statement-descriptors#dynamic-descriptors
as for how you set the statement descriptor
For Express and Custom accounts, the platform account sets the static descriptor with the settings[payments][statement_descriptor] argument and the static prefix with the settings[card_payments][statement_descriptor_prefix] argument on the Account object.
Basically we trying to find out if when prefix can be hidden when using statement_descriptor_suffix,
From what i read semms like when using on_behalf_of this prefix is auto pulled from the connected account
and the final descriptor is
CONNECTEDACCOUNTPREFIX* our_defined_descriptor_suffix
yes
yes what? its autopulled and we dont have a chance to hide it?
when using on_behalf_of this prefix is auto pulled from the connected account
and the final descriptor is
CONNECTEDACCOUNTPREFIX* our_defined_descriptor_suffix
yes that's true
How can we force clients to add a descriptor
In the onboarding flow
And where are we with the phone number situation
if it's a Custom Account/flow, you could easily make a step required to collect the settings[payments][statement_descriptor]
Can you send documentation for this
That way we can add to the flow and the phone number
It is Express Connect not Custom Connect
I want to be transparent to make sure that this works even for Express
it's in the link I sent you
this is the API for updating an existing account with the descriptor https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/update#update_account-settings-payments-statement_descriptor
