How to Find Your Stripe Account ID

If you’re working with Stripe, whether you're building a SaaS app, integrating subscriptions, or just managing payouts, you’ll almost certainly need your Stripe account ID at some point.

It’s the unique identifier that looks like this: acct_123abc456xyz, and it’s used across the Stripe API and dashboard when working with connected accounts, webhooks, and platform integrations.

So, where exactly do you find it?

To find your Stripe account ID:

1. Log in to your Stripe Dashboard at dashboard.stripe.com
2. Go to Settings (click the gear icon in the top-right corner)
3. Click on "Personal details" under the Personal settings section
4. Scroll down to the "Accounts" section and click on your organization name to show all your Accounts and their IDs. (it starts with acct_)

Here’s a direct link to get there faster:

What Does the Stripe Account ID Look Like?

Your Stripe account ID always starts with acct_ followed by a long string of random characters. For example:

acct_123abc456xyz

This ID is not your login email or business name. It’s a unique technical identifier used behind the scenes.

Need the Platform’s Stripe Account ID?

If you're using Stripe Connect and need the platform’s Stripe account ID for operations like transfers or destination charges, you can usually retrieve it programmatically:

import stripe
stripe.api_key = "sk_live_..."

account = stripe.Account.retrieve()
print(account.id)

This will return your current authenticated Stripe account ID, which is helpful if you're working with both platform and connected accounts.

Final Notes

Your Stripe account ID is essential when you're:

• Setting up OAuth connections
• Creating transfers or payouts via the API
• Configuring webhooks for specific connected accounts
• Contacting Stripe support for technical issues

It’s a small detail, but having quick access to it will save you time.
