Stripe does not expose merchant accounts and often the merchant ID is not necessary to complete an application.

If you are prompted for a merchant ID or merchant account number while filling out a permit or license application, you should leave the field blank or enter your email address in that field.

If you are a Terminal user and you want to accept Afterpay, Clearpay, or Klarna please see Does Stripe Terminal support Afterpay, Clearpay and Klarna? for more information.
