START OF BRIEF Project: Global B2B SaaS Stripe Setup (No Code Required)
I need a Stripe expert for a remote co-working session to configure my dashboard. No coding is required as my developer will handle the integration; I just need someone who knows the Stripe settings inside-out. We have a SaaS platform for global users and need to ensure the following logic is 100% correct.
1. Priority #1: Advanced Bank Transfers (The Most Important Method)
We need to configure "Virtual Bank Accounts" via Stripe’s Automated Bank Transfer system. The priority is that our B2B clients receive a professional invoice with unique local bank details (Account Number/Sort Code) in their own local currency. This must be enabled for the UK, EU, USA, Japan, and Mexico so big B2B clients can "push" payments to us exactly like a local vendor. NOTE: This is our most important payment method and must be the primary focus of the setup.
2. Detailed Global B2B Payment Strategy
In addition to Bank Transfers, we need to cater to specific markets with the following. Please note: We do NOT want Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Revolut Pay.
Global Baseline: Enable Credit/Debit Cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) and PayPal for all 50+ target countries. USA: Enable ACH Direct Debit. This is mandatory for our US B2B clients to avoid card fees. United Kingdom: Enable Bacs Direct Debit for the 12-month monthly contracts. Europe: Enable SEPA Direct Debit. Also enable iDEAL (Netherlands) and Bancontact (Belgium). China: Enable both Alipay and WeChat Pay for full coverage. South Korea: Enable local South Korean Cards. Middle East: Ensure Card support is optimized for local currencies (AED, SAR).
3. Pricing & Subscription Logic
Ad Packages: £100 per advert. Users can select multiple adverts with a "volume discount" (the more they buy, the cheaper the unit price). Annual Plan: Standard yearly subscription that can be canceled anytime. Monthly Plan: 12-month minimum contract, restricted to UK customers only (legal/accountability reasons).
4. Branding & Compliance
Apply our website theme, logos, and branding to all Stripe invoices and hosted pages. Implement our "Terms of Business" into the checkout flow so users must agree before paying.
5. Stripe Tax & B2B Setup
We need to activate Stripe Tax and Tax ID Collection. This ensures that when a business in another country enters their Tax ID, Stripe automatically validates it and sets the tax to 0% (Reverse Charge). Developer Note: We will use the command "automatic_tax[enabled]=true". Product Mapping: Use Tax Code txcd_10103001 (SaaS - business use).
6. Regional Restrictions
Ensure the "Monthly 12-Month Contract" plan is hidden or blocked for any user whose billing address or IP is outside of the United Kingdom.
