Design review
Stripe reviews all card designs to make sure they comply with the guidelines set by our partner networks.
We approve almost all designs, but we might reject yours if it contains:
- The name of another legal entity
- A reference to a different network (for example, MasterCard, if you’re issuing on Visa)
- The name of a geographic location
- A reference to non-fiat currency (for example, cryptocurrency)
- Advertising or promotional language
- Inappropriate text or imagery
If we reject your design, we’ll cancel all cards created with that design and won’t charge you for the card creation or shipping fees for them. We’ll notify you by email and ask you to resubmit an updated design and reissue your cards.
