The EIN method no longer works. Now the EIN is optional but the last 4 digits of SSN is mandatory, so save yourself the effort and don't get the EIN. I used 1234 as the last 4 digits of SSN since it wouldn't accept 0000. I have 1 notification on my account saying I need to change it but ignored...

Hi all! Haven't abandoned my store but haven't been very active lately since I'm currently on vacation visiting family. Didn't do much at all since my last post apart from run a few shoutouts and spend (waste lol) more money on FB ads. I'll give FB a rest for now and keep focusing on shoutouts...

Very interesting. As of yet I've received a notification 3 days after setting the account up that I needed to update my SSN but nothing since then. It is now 26 days and so far so good. It seems however that Stripe had a problem with the things this user was selling, rather than his personal...

Yes Facebook is a lot of work. My last attempt using audience from my site pixel and set to conversions didn't go so well. Very little reach and no conversions. On the bright side it only used up about 50c of my budget. IG influencers are hit or miss. When I first started I contacted about 15...

Glad to hear. Yes I found that Stripe helps alot. of the 16 or so orders I got, maybe 11 were paid through Stripe.

I wrote how further up in the post and there is a thread on this forum on how to do it.

Yes I did. Today another payout was sent and I got it right as I was typing this. There's a 12 hour or so delay between stripe and payoneer but so far works.

Traffic yes, sales source haven't quite figured it out yet. Tried adding a conversion goal on Google Analytics and linked it to my Thank You page but it only tracked 1 order. I have just set up Ecommerce on Google Analytics this morning (Thought I had already done that!) which should hopefully...

Ok so 3 weeks in and looking up. A bit of an improvement from last week, plenty more sales. As of last Thursday 21st I launched a FB ad campaign Initially $10 for 1 day. Because of the timezone difference between where I am and where my customer base is my ads have to be set to run at night, and...

Like I said above just EIN doesn't work anymore. Even if you put the EIN, you still have to put a SSN. EIN is optional, SSN is mandatory so as of now this is the only option. Even if you opened an LLC and got an EIN, you still wouldn't have a SSN so you're in the same place and wasted the money.

That's good to hear. I don't have the option to put the EIN in anymore but haven't been told my acc will be suspended yet either. Haven't found the option to add funds to Stripe though, if there's a 100-250 minimum I won't bother then.

I I'm not sure, I guess try a different operator that lets you receive texts? I used the fax number I got with my US address and didn't get any notification for text verification or anything. What did you do for the SSN? I still haven't updated it but didn't get any deadlines or anything...

I didn't put an EIN, this was marked as optional during the registration and I used 1234 as the last 4 digits of my SSN since it wouldn't accept 0000. So far it seems to be working but it's only been 1 week and 1 payout, only about $150 has gone through Stripe. Hopefully they won't decide to...

I don't think so. The method posted on this forum and around the web before worked with using an EIN instead of SSN - Stripe required either. Now the EIN is optional and SSN is mandatory. I received the first payout from them yesterday evening and another 4 purchases were made overnight using...

Depends. I'm still not sure whether my Stripe Account will be suspended or not because I didn't provide a valid SSN. I checked the account this morning to find that the payout was made, now just waiting for it to show up in my Payoneer account which could take up to 3 days or more. Hopefully it...

Ok so its now week 2 of my store going live. Here are my stats from AliDrophship; As you can see since my last update I've received another 5 orders. Plenty of visitors but few, sporadic sales. My conversion rate is 0.52% which is concerning since I've spent more money on Instagram shoutouts...

Sounds like its working! I am planning on starting some FB ads tests with the audience gathered from my FB pixel on site this week. Good luck!

Thanks, I checked it again and it actually said the 18th. For some reason Stripe seems to instantly transfer money to the bank account. Will update on the 18th, if it works then it proves it is still possible to get Stripe approved without being a US resident or opening an LLC!

Had my first payment via stripe overnight. So far so good, woke up to an email saying the amount would be transferred to my bank account (payoneer) by the 21st. We'll see how that goes.

The EIN was optional, as for SSN I typed 1234. The guide you linked before, the author used 0000 as the last 4 digits and was approved. Even so, they seem to have made an SSN mandatory now. I think that rule applies to dropshipping suppliers. Our business model is a webstore based on drop...
