When you connect Stripe to accept payments, Stripe (not CombatScore) verifies your identity and business as part of its hosted onboarding. Having the right information ready makes setup take just a few minutes. CombatScore never sees or stores any of this — you enter it directly with Stripe.

Requirements are set by Stripe and can vary by country and business type. Stripe decides exactly what it needs and may ask for more if it can't verify you automatically. The list below covers the typical United States case.

Have these ready

Business details — legal name, address, phone number, and a short description of your gym (or your website/booking page).
Tax ID — your EIN if you operate as a business (LLC, corporation, partnership, non-profit), or your SSN if you run the gym as a sole proprietor / individual.
Account representative — the person opening the account: legal name, date of birth, home address, and (in the US) the last 4 digits of their SSN. You must be 18 or older.
Payout bank account — your bank's routing number and account number so Stripe can deposit your earnings.

By business type

Sole proprietor / individual

SSN (used as your tax ID) and personal details for the account representative.
A personal or business bank account for payouts.

LLC, corporation, partnership, or non-profit

EIN (Employer Identification Number) for the business.
Legal business name and registered address exactly as filed.
Details for an account representative and, for some structures, the beneficial owners (anyone owning 25%+).
A business bank account for payouts.

Documents Stripe may request

Most accounts verify instantly from the details above. If Stripe can't verify you automatically, it will ask you to upload one or more of:

Government photo ID for the account representative — driver's license, state ID, or passport (front and back).
Proof of business — EIN confirmation letter (IRS CP-575 or 147C), business license, or formation documents.
Proof of address or bank ownership — a recent bank statement or utility bill, if requested.

Upload prompts appear inside Stripe's onboarding (or later in your Stripe dashboard). The Finance page in CombatScore will show you exactly what Stripe is still waiting on.

Don't have an EIN yet?

If you're forming a business, you can get an EIN for free from the IRS in a few minutes at irs.gov (search "apply for an EIN online"). Until then, sole proprietors can onboard with an SSN and add or switch to an EIN later in Stripe.

Next step

Once you have these ready, follow Connecting your Stripe account to finish setup from your gym's Finance page. CombatScore will never ask for your Stripe password or API keys.
