Body

I am from India and wanted to enable GitHub Sponsor on my account. Github sponsors need a stripe account, so I head over to create one. But, stripe doesn't allow individuals to accept international payments you should be a company or sole proprietor or something like that.

So, how can I enable GitHub sponsor on my account with this problem?

Hey @dotexe3301! Thanks for reaching To use GitHub Sponsors, you need to create a Stripe Connect account directly through the GitHub dashboard instead of a regular Stripe account. Did you follow this flow within GitHub to set up your account?

If you're trying to set up a US-based account, keep in mind that proof of US residency is required. Without it, this setup won’t be possible. If you need further guidance, please, open a ticket on our Support page :)

Best of luck!

I created it from GitHub. But It didn't work!

I'm also facing the same issue. I was following the Github Sponsors UI/wizard, and it redirected me to a connect.stripe.com page. And in that page it says "Accepting international payments is not available for individual user."
