Stripe is asking for a business website and I haven't got one. What do I put?
You don't need a website of your own — a property advert or a Facebook page will do. It's the only box in that section Tenarize can't fill in for you.
A website of your own is not required. Stripe asks because it verifies businesses of every kind, and what it is really checking is that the business it is approving exists. Anything public that shows your letting does will do:
- An advert for the property — an OpenRent, Rightmove or Zoopla listing.
- A social media page, if you keep one for your lettings.
- Your own website or your agent's, if there is one.
Everything else Stripe asks about the business, Tenarize has already answered for you: the business category, a description of what you do, and your support email and phone number. The website is the one it deliberately leaves blank — filling it in with tenarize.com would tell Stripe that this site is your business, which isn't true, and Stripe checks what it's given.
Worth knowing: Use a page that actually relates to the person or company being verified. Stripe may look at whatever you give it, so a placeholder link is likelier to hold your verification up than a modest one.
