Stripe Provider Onboarding error

Though rare, this error may appear during Stripe's Connect Onboarding process for marketplace providers. It typically arises when the website URL field contains the provider's profile URL page. Stripe's guidelines for a correct "website" are somewhat ambiguous, and sometimes, a user profile URL is flagged as insufficient.

Fix: Changing the website to your generic marketplace URL should resolve the issue. You can manually modify this information in your Stripe Dashboard by navigating to the Connect tab, selecting the provider's connected account, and editing the "Business Website" field in the Profile section to use your marketplace's generic URL.
