Build an organization

Create an organization, managing your accounts from a single location in the Stripe Dashboard. After you create an organization, you can invite additional team members to access your organization by navigating to your Team and security settings.

Before you begin

The person who creates the organization must be a Super Administrator in each account added to the organization. Stripe automatically assigns this role to the account owner, who can assign the Super Administrator role to the organization creator, if it’s a different person. If an account’s owner leaves, you can request an ownership transfer.

Create an organization

To create an organization from one of your Stripe accounts:

1. Navigate to your Account details in the Dashboard.

2. Click Create organization.

3. Enter a name for your organization.

4. Select the accounts you want to add to the organization. You can add up to 75 accounts.

5. Agree to the Terms of Service.

6. Click Create.

Manage SSO behavior

After you create an organization, SSO configuration for all accounts transfers to the organization. You must update your identity provider (IdP) to assign roles through the organization and consolidate account SSO managemnt under the organization’s IdP.

1. Obtain your org_id from your organization management settings in the Dashboard.
2. Add or update your IdP attribute statement to use Stripe-Role-org_id (instead of Stripe-Role-acct_id) so you can assign roles in the organization.
3. Consolidate the IdPs of any accounts with SSO enabled before you add them to the organization.

Add an existing account to an organization

After you create an organization, you can add an existing account. An organization can include up to 75 accounts, and each account can belong to only one organization.

1. Click Add account next to Business accounts on the homepage.

2. Select Choose from existing accounts.

3. Select the accounts you want to add. If you’re a Super Administrator of an account, you can add the account to your organization directly. If you’re an Administrator of an account, you can send an invite to the Super Administrator. If you’re not sure who the Super Administrator is, check the account’s Team settings. The person who created an account is automatically made a Super Administrator.

4. Click Add.
