stripe statement descriptor customer does not recognize

The actual problem

Bank statement shows a cryptic descriptor — ‘I didn’t buy this’ disputes spike even on good orders.

Do this

  1. Set a clear statement descriptor / suffix customers will recognize.
  2. Match descriptor to public brand (DBA), not only legal entity code.
  3. Update support macros to quote the exact bank line shoppers see.
  4. Watch unrecognized-transaction disputes for 30 days after the change.
