Pro Tip: If you do not have a business number, you can use 987654321.

 

Pro Tip: Stripe may require you to provide a verification ID as a security measure. This is to ensure that the person who is authorized to open the Stripe account under Trellis is a valid individual and not a bot.

 

5.    After completing the setup on Stripe, you'll be redirected back to Trellis. Click the Add Account button in the Bank Accounts section
