Set the support phone for Substack subscriptions

Substack paid subscriptions run on Stripe. The support phone your readers see on statements comes from your connected Stripe account.

Time: about a minuteYou need: your Substack's Stripe account
Step 1

Find the Stripe account behind your Substack

When you turned on paid subscriptions, you connected a Stripe account. Settings → Payments in Substack shows which one. Sign in to it at dashboard.stripe.com.

dashboard.stripe.com
Step 2

Set the support phone there

From here it is an ordinary Stripe account, so the Stripe guide covers the rest: Public details, Customer-facing information, Customer support phone number.

Step 3

Optionally add it to your About page

Substack has no phone field of its own. If you want it visible to readers, add it to your About page or welcome email.

Good to know

Substack takes its cut through Stripe Connect, but the support phone on your readers' statements is still yours to set.
