How to Get Multiple Stripe Accounts With One LLC Easily 2026

From inside your existing Stripe dashboard, click the business name in the top-left corner to open the account switcher, then choose the option to create a new account. A "Create a new account" dialog appears asking for a Name and a Country of operation. The name field is just a label for the dashboard — you can rename it later — but it's worth naming it after the actual brand or store it represents right away, since you'll be picking between accounts by this name every time you switch.

After creating the account shell, Stripe walks you through a short "Welcome to Stripe" setup screen asking for your business name and, optionally, a business website. This is where the new account starts to separate itself from your first one — it gets its own business profile, and Stripe uses the website field to tailor setup recommendations like which payment methods to enable. You can skip the website for now and add it later if the new store isn't live yet, but filling in an accurate business name here matters since it's what shows up on customer statements for that account.

Once setup finishes, click the account name in the top-left again and you'll see your accounts listed together under an "Other accounts" section, letting you jump between them without logging out. Each account carries its own dashboard: its own balance, its own transaction history, and — visible under Developers — its own publishable and secret API keys. That last part is the piece that actually matters for running separate stores cleanly, since it means the checkout code for one brand can never accidentally charge through another brand's account.

Each additional account still needs its own business verification details — legal business information, a bank account for payouts, and identity details for whoever's listed as the account representative. If every store shares the same LLC, most of the legal business information will be identical across accounts, but the bank account and website can differ per store. Have these ready before you start the next account so you're not stuck mid-setup waiting on a document.

Because each account has its own bank payout settings and its own API keys, the separation Stripe gives you is structural rather than something you have to maintain manually. Still, it's worth double-checking that each storefront's code is pointed at the correct account's keys before going live — pasting the wrong secret key into a new store's checkout is the most common way transactions end up misattributed to the wrong brand.

Stripe does monitor for patterns that look like an attempt to evade a restriction on one account by opening another, so accuracy matters more than speed here — use consistent, truthful business information across accounts rather than varying it to look like unrelated entities. If one account under your LLC gets flagged or restricted, mismatched details on a sibling account can draw scrutiny to both, so keep your business name, address, and ownership details consistent everywhere they're asked for.
