Verify Your Cohere Account

Welcome to Cohere! 🎉

 

To get started, you’ll need to create or connect a Stripe account. This ensures your Cohere account can receive payments from clients.

Why is this important?

A linked payment processor is required for your services to run smoothly. You can either:

• Use your own Stripe account (recommended for the smoothest experience), or

• Use Cohere’s built-in payment processor if you’d like a simpler setup.

This guide will walk you through verifying your Stripe account.

Step-by-Step Setup

Step 1: Log in to your Cohere Dashboard and click the “Verify” button on the banner.

Step 2: You’ll be redirected to Stripe’s Identity Verification page.

  

Step 3: Your Cohere sign-up email will be auto-filled, this can be changed on this page.

 

 
                               

Step 4: Click Continue and create a strong password.

                             

 

Step 5: Enter your mobile number (choose the correct country code) and click Send Text to receive a verification code.

 

                           

 

Step 6: Enter the code sent to your phone.

                             

Step 7: Save the backup code generated by Stripe in case you lose access to your device.

 

                             

Step 8: Provide your business details (location, type: Individual, Company, or Nonprofit).

     

 

                             

Step 9–11: Fill out all required fields, including business and bank details for payouts. Continue through each section.

  

                             

                           

 

                         

 

Step 12: Add public details (what your clients will see).

                       

 

Step 13: Review your information. Use the edit button if you need to update anything.

                       

 

Step 14: Click Agree & Submit to complete your verification.

             

 

🎉 Congratulations! Your Stripe account is now connected to Cohere.

Choosing the Right Business Type

• Individual: Best for freelancers or personal projects.

• Company: For businesses of any size (LLC, partnership, or corporation).
