Cryptocurrency supportability and availability by region : Stripe: Help & Support

Cryptocurrency supportability and availability by region

Stripe offers varying levels of supportability for businesses in the crypto ecosystem, according to use case and region. During the onboarding process, businesses must provide additional documentation and receive explicit approval before using Stripe. Use case and payment method supportability can also be limited due to the changing landscape of crypto regulations.

The cryptocurrency ecosystem and its regulatory outlook continue to evolve rapidly, and our feature availability for businesses in the space varies by region and use case. We continue to work with regulators and financial partners to expand our supportability, but in the meantime, please refer to the information below for our current product availability.
