Natural Originals Shop Blog

Here’s a little story about what we at Natural Originals Shop are doing and how it happened. About 2 months ago after reading the books “The Secret” and “The Greatest Secret” by Rhonda Bryne I decided I wanted to open an online store...Take note that I have a 4 year old, 2 year old, and a newborn! Well, it was extremely time consuming and took a lot of research and work; i mean all day and all night in between taking care of the kids figuring out everything I have to do to make this business successful. So I started getting the website built, adding all the special features and plug ins I wanted like the wish list button ect., selecting the products, marketing, sales tools, social media platforms set up, email campaigns....There was one problem and that was I was too small for my idea. So after realizing I can’t run 7 social media platforms and keep up with the everyday work involved to get it going, I called in 7 of my girlfriends from all the places I’ve lived to help me on the social media sites. This week we are getting each friend set up on their designated platform. There’s 8 of us total as of now and our platforms are: Instagram, Facebook, Tik-Tok, Snapchat, Tumblr, Twitter, and Pinterest. Financial freedom is our goal and I think we are going to rock it!

Below I'll talk about how to use Stripe for payments on your website no matter where you are from.

My friend Chris at https://designcmp.com/ has helped me through this entire process of getting my sellvia drop shipping store and website the way I want. Really! I don't get paid for this but I just wanna say that if you need help this guy will go above and beyond to help you and has patience to deal with insane requests. Anyway! He discovered how anyone can use Stripe for payments and I just wanted to share it because I know a lot of people have trouble with this.

Here's the simple steps:

1) Register for Transferwise's multi-currency account for either personal or business. Both will work, it's your choice.

2) Choose the currency (using GBP is recommended and will be further explained with this currency) and add minimum 20GBP and upload your required documents.. PP, ID ect.

3) Create a Stripe account and use your address but with Transferwise's zip code and country and now use Transferwise as your bank! Go to google get a random UK phone number and use that but as soon as this process is completely done and approved update it to your real phone number. (Download the google authenticator app on your phone in order to verify the phone number)

4) You'll get an email from Stripe saying they can not verify your account. Now click update information and upload your real ID or passport and hit done. After a few days you should be approved. If they ever ask for ID verification ect. Just send them your real stuff and it shouldn't be a problem.
