When I accept payments with Stripe, will customers see my legal name?


And is there anyway around this without forming an LLC or Corp?

Basically, I'm finally going to test out one of my ideas and the platform I'll be using works with Stripe, so they will be my payment processor.

I know I can use Stripe Atlas to incorporate, but it's not worth the headache until I start making money.

In the meantime, does that mean my customers will see my legal name when they complete the checkout process?

It's not the worst thing in the world, but I want to avoid it if possible.

Also, say I decide to incorporate after I make some money, would I just have to change my API keys from my personal Stripe to my corporate Stripe so there would not be any hiccups or downtime in switching over?

There's a field in stripe that allows you to put whatever text you want in the credit notification. Gotta keep searching for it.
