How to contact Stripe

Contact our support team through your Stripe Dashboard. Stripe can respond quickest if you use the following guidelines when contacting us.

Log into Stripe first

Include formatted IDs

To help us solve your issue as quickly as possible, we recommend formatting your inquiry with pertinent IDs, such as:

  • Customer Name: Johnny Example

  • Any other relevant Stripe IDs:

    • Charges begin ch_*** or py_***

    • Transfers begin tr_***, etc.

If your inquiry is regarding a specific card, please include as much information about the card as possible, such as the expiration date, last 4 digits of the card number, and the card brand. However, please never share or send a full card number or CVC.

Add a hosted email address

After submitting your inquiry via the form, Stripe will send a confirmation email that they’ve received your message. So that Mavenseed and Stripe can work together to solve your issue, we’d recommend responding to the confirmation email, to add your support@mavenseed.com address into the email thread.

General Stripe support links

Note: Platforms or users processing more than $80,000 (USD) per month may qualify for discounted rates. To schedule a conversation with a sales representative, either contact our support team through the Dashboard or email .

You can issue issue refunds via your Stripe Dashboard. Depending on your customer’s bank, the customer will see the refund show up between 5–10 business days later. Refunds can be whole or partial—that is, you can refund any amount up to the original amount of the charge. For details, see: .

A (also known as a chargeback) occurs when a cardholder questions a charge with their bank or credit card company. When a dispute comes in, Stripe gets information about it from the bank, and displays one of eight reason categories to our users.

Depending on the reason, the Stripe Dashboard will guide the user through submitting the best type of evidence to support the charge, as outlined here: . Once the user submits the dispute evidence to Stripe, Stripe will submit the evidence to the banks/card networks on their behalf, so that the user does not have to deal with these institutions directly.

To be notified about disputes, select email notifications through your Dashboard:. (Select “Email me for: Disputes.”)

Here are some overall best practices for avoiding fraud: .
