Stripe account not supported

[Crochetfudge17]

@Ribblr please help. My country does not support stripe so I cannot set up an account. I would really love to sell my patterns here. I prefer Ribblr to other sites because it is so much easier for you to make you patterns on. Does anyone else have a similar problem to me? Surely it isn’t just my country that does not support stripe? Is it possible to add a different payment method to stripe that is supported by more countries or is there another way for me to receive payments for my patterns?

Payment methods

So, I’m currently in the process of turning my account into my business account, which of course requires stripe. The problem is, I can’t currently set up an account with stripe (not related to ribblr) so I was wondering if there’s any way Ribblr could allow being paid through other methods? I know there’s a whole thing with the fees and other issues, but I think it would be really helpful. I use square for everything else business related, so I would love to be able to use it here! Otherwis…

Thanks for sharing. That’s on our radar, but (although it may not seem like that) it’s a very lengthy and complex task.

Stripe’s verification process, whilst it can be tedious, is following regulations so in reality all payment providers we add should be similar, unless you already have an account with them.

We’ll keep you posted

Stripe isn’t supported in a lot of countries, so it’s quite unfortunate that’s the only payment method on here.

I’m glad I’m not the only one. I hope Ribblr is able to find a way so that it is more inclusive for everyone soon

Would you mind sharing where you are from so I can document it for our team as they continue to work on this piece?

Unfortunately not but they are apparently working on a solution
