Merchant

Doesn't look right? Things you could check:

  • Search your email for a receiptChecking your inbox for a receipt or confirmation email around the date of this charge may reveal the exact business name.
  • Check full transaction detailsLogging into your bank or card's app and viewing the full transaction details sometimes reveals additional merchant information not shown in the descriptor.
  • Recall recent fitness sign-upsThinking back to any gym, fitness app, or wellness subscription you may have signed up for recently could help identify the source.
  • Review active subscriptionsMany fitness services (gym chains, workout apps, online classes) use Stripe to bill members — reviewing any active subscriptions in your accounts may help narrow it down.
WHAT THE DESCRIPTOR TELLS US

Stripe processes online payments for a wide range of businesses. The name shown with the STRIPE descriptor is the actual business you paid — Stripe itself is not the seller. After the STRIPE prefix the descriptor reads “GYM MEMBERSHIP” — that leftover text is the most likely seller.
