Overview

To get to the billing account overview page, click "View billing account" from the billing account list.

When you are on the overview page for a billing account, you'll be able to see your estimated monthly cost, the billing account details, payment methods and outstanding invoices.

If it is your first time using the billing account, you'll see a message saying "This billing account doesn't have a payment method. You need to add a payment method to create chargeable resources in projects linked to this billing account."

If you have already added a payment method, you will be shown the payment methods associated with the billing account.

Verify your identity

In order to add a payment method, you'll need to verify your identity.

To get started with the verification process, click "Verify your identity".

From this screen, you can choose to complete the verification process on your mobile device or continue on this device. For this guide, we'll choose "Continue on this device".

Next, you will be asked to select how you want to verify your identity. You can choose to take a picture with your phone, webcam, or you can manually upload a file. For this guide, we'll be manually uploading a file.

Next, you will need to select the type of document you are uploading. You can choose from a passport, driving license or identity card. For this guide, we'll be uploading a driving license.

Next, you will need to accept the terms and conditions of Stripe Identity Service. Once you have accepted the terms and conditions, click "Continue".

Next, you will need to upload the front of your document. You can either drag and drop your document into the box or click "Choose file" to select a file from your computer.
