Integrate Terminal in the United States

Stripe supports Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover payments in the United States. All transactions must be made in U.S. dollars (USD). To accept Terminal charges in the United States, either your platform account or connected account must be in the United States.

Use locations

Create Locations for your business with addresses in the United States and associate your readers to them. This will ensure that they automatically download the configuration needed to properly process charges in the United States.

A valid address for a Location in the United States must contain the line1, city, state, postal_code, and country properties.
