Step 1: Complete Stripe Identity Verification

Stripe requires identity verification to comply with financial regulations and ensure secure payments.

Required documents:

• A clear, color photo of your government-issued ID (passport, driver’s license, or national ID)

• A recent proof of address document (utility bill, bank statement, or rental agreement with your full name and address)

⚠️ Your name must exactly match your CoHostMarket profile.

Stripe typically approves documents within a few hours, though it can occasionally take up to 48 hours.

Step 2: Provide Your Tax Information

Stripe will request your tax details based on your location:

• U.S. Citizens: Complete a W-9 form.

• Non-U.S. Citizens: Complete a W-8BEN form or your local equivalent.

✅ This step ensures legal compliance and avoids payout delays.

Step 3: Set Up Your Payout Method

Add your preferred payout method securely via Stripe:

• Provide accurate bank account details (routing number, account number, account holder name)

• Ensure details match exactly your identity verification documents

• Double-check for accuracy to avoid delays

✅ Payouts are processed according to Stripe’s schedule once set up.

How Long Does Verification Take?

Expect these general timelines:

• Stripe ID Verification: Typically a few hours, occasionally up to 48 hours.

• Tax and Payout Setup: Usually instant if your information is accurate.
