To verify that you are actually on Stripe's website, you can check that the domain you are on is one of the following:
stripe.com
stripe.dev
stripe.events
stripe.global
link.com
If you are unsure, follow this procedure:
- Look at the text displayed in the address bar. This is the URL.
- If the URL starts with
https://
, ignore this portion of the text in subsequent steps. - Find the first
/
in the URL. If you see it, ignore it and everything that comes after in the URL. - Check that the remaining text is either
stripe.com
,stripe.events
, etc., or it ends with.stripe.com
,.stripe.events
, etc.
Example on Google Chrome
Here, Chrome doesn't show the https://
prefix in the URL. However, it does show /dashboard
. This should be ignored since we are ignoring the first /
in the URL and everything that comes after. Finally, we find that the remaining URL ends in .stripe.com
, meaning this is a legitimate Stripe webpage.
Example on Firefox
Here, Firefox shows the https://
prefix, which should be ignored. Then, we also ignore /login
since we are ignoring the first /
in the URL and everything that comes after. Finally, we find that the remaining URL ends in .stripe.com
, meaning this is a legitimate Stripe website.
Example on Safari
Here, Safari, by default, doesn't show the https://
prefix and hides the /
and everything that comes after in the URL. We note that the URL ends in .stripe.com
, meaning this is a legitimate Stripe website.
Example URLs
These are real Stripe URLs:
https://dashboard.stripe.com/login
https://stripe.com
dashboard.stripe.com/payments
https://connect.stripe.com/express_login
These are not real Stripe URLs:
-
https://dashboard-stripe.com/login
: the portion left after removinghttps://
and/login
does not end in.stripe.com
(notice the hyphen). This is a phishing site. -
dashboard.stripe.com.example.com
: the URL ends in.example.com
, not.stripe.com
, so this is a fake website. (There is nohttps://
prefix or/
to remove.)
