Build an organisation

Select accounts to combine into an organisation.

Create an organisation, managing your accounts from a single location in the Stripe Dashboard. After you create an organisation, you can invite additional team members to access your organisation by navigating to your Team and security settings.

Before you begin

  • The person who creates the organisation must be a Super Administrator in each account added to the organisation. Stripe automatically assigns this role to the account owner, who can assign the Super Administrator role to the organisation creator, if it’s a different person. If an account’s owner leaves, you can request an ownership transfer.
  • You must Consolidate the IdPs of any accounts with SSO enabled before you add them to the organisation.

Create an organisation

To create an organisation from one of your Stripe accounts:

  1. Navigate to the account picker in the Dashboard.
  2. Select Create, and then click Create organisation.
  3. Enter a name for your organisation.
  4. Select the accounts you want to add to the organisation. You can add up to 75 accounts.
  5. Agree to the Terms of Service.
  6. Click Create.

Manage SSO behaviour

After you create an organisation, SSO configuration for all accounts transfers to the organisation. You must update your identity provider (IdP) to assign roles through the organisation and consolidate account SSO management under the organisation’s IdP.

  1. Obtain your org _ id from your organisation management settings in the Dashboard.
  2. Add or update your IdP attribute statement to use Stripe-Role-org _ id (instead of Stripe-Role-acct _ id ) so you can assign roles in the organisation.

Common mistake

Failure to update your SSO integration can result in restricted user access.

Add an existing account to an organisation

After you create an organisation, you can add an existing account. An organisation can include up to 75 accounts, and each account can belong to only one organisation.

  1. Click Add account next to Business accounts on the homepage.
  2. Select Choose from existing accounts.
  3. Select the accounts you want to add. If you’re a Super Administrator of an account, you can add the account to your organisation directly. If you’re an Administrator of an account, you can send an invite to the Super Administrator. If you’re not sure who the Super Administrator is, check the account’s Team settings. The person who created an account is automatically made a Super Administrator. India Stripe Accounts aren’t eligible at this time.
  4. Click Add.

Add a new account to an organisation

To add a new account to an organisation:

  1. Click the account picker, then select Create new account.
  2. Select Create a new account in your organisation.
  3. Add the account name, then select the country of operation.
  4. (Optional) Select a legal entity, business details, or payout bank account information you want to copy from existing accounts within your organisation.
  5. Click Create account.

Add a new account outside an organisation

To add a new account outside an organisation:

  1. Click the account picker, then select Create new account.
  2. Select Create an account outside your organisation.
  3. Add the account name, then select the country of operation.
  4. Click Create.

Remove an account from an organisation

To remove an account from an organisation:

  1. Click the account picker, and select your organisation.
  2. Go to Organisation management, and click the overflow menu () next to the name of the account you want to remove.
  3. Click Remove from organisation.
  4. Make sure you assign account-level roles to any users who inherited them from the organisation if you want them to continue having those permissions in the removed account.

You must be a Super Administrator of the organisation to remove an account. If you remove every account from an organisation, Stripe permanently closes it.

Data pipeline effects

If you remove an account from an organisation, we automatically remove the account from all data pipelines in the organisation.

Create an account group

Account groups let you organise accounts into named subsets for analysis and reporting. Use them to track performance across a specific region, business unit or product line in an isolated view.

Account groups work like tags: each account can belong to multiple groups simultaneously, so the same account can appear in a regional group and a business unit group at the same time. After setting up a group, anyone in your organisation can filter Dashboard pages, list views (such as transactions and subscriptions), Sigma queries and Reports by that account group as they would for a single account.

Only Administrators and Super Administrators can create and manage account groups.

  1. Navigate to Account groups.
  2. Click Create group, then enter a name for the group. Optionally, add a description for the group.
  3. Select the accounts you want to add to the group, and click Done. An account can belong to multiple account groups.
  4. Stripe redirects you to Account groups, where your group appears. Here, you can filter groups by the accounts they contain, and add or remove accounts from the group. You can also copy group IDs.
