Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Polar in countries (e.g. India) where Stripe is invite-only?

This is possible as Polar is the Merchant of Record, all payments from customers are made to Polar (US). Stripe Connect Express is then used to issue payouts, and is supported in more countries via cross-border transfer than Stripe Payments standalone.

You might still see a warning in Stripe Connect Express that payments are invite-only, but don’t worry. No direct sales are made directly to the Stripe Connect Express account. They’re all made to Polar (US) as a platform and the merchant of record. We only use the transfer and payout feature of Stripe Connect Express which is available in all of our supported countries.

Can I use Polar as an individual to make sales globally?

Yes, given that Stripe Connect Express supports individual as a business type in your region.

To know which business type is supported in your country, follow steps as below:

• Open required verification information by Stripe to set up a business or personal account in your country.
• Ensure Platform Country is set to United States (US).
• Ensure Dashboard Type is set to express.
• Ensure Service Agreement is set to recipient.
• Ensure Capability is set to transfers.
• Select the correct Account Country relevant to you.
• Click on the toggle for Business Type which will allow you know if individual, business, company or LLC/LLP is supported by Stripe Connect Express in that region.
