ZebraFone is a billing-descriptor phone number service. It gives online sellers a dedicated US and Canada phone number for Stripe, Shopify, and Substack, so your personal number never appears on a customer's bank statement.
When your personal number ends up on receipts and bank statements, customers call it — at inconvenient hours, for questions that could have waited.
But there’s a less obvious cost. When a customer sees an unfamiliar charge and can’t reach anyone — or lands on your personal voicemail — they don’t wait. They dispute the charge with their bank. That chargeback costs you the sale, a dispute fee, and enough of them puts your payment processing at risk.
The fix is a dedicated number that isn’t yours.
Your support number appears on customer bank statements whether you like it or not. ZebraFone gives payment processors what they need without that number being yours.
When a customer sees an unfamiliar charge, they call the number on their bank statement. Your ZebraFone greeting tells them who you are and what they were charged for — before they call their bank instead.
Your ZebraFone number answers with your custom greeting around the clock. Voicemails are transcribed and sent to your inbox — respond when it suits you, not when a call interrupts you.
One flat annual fee. All features included.
It's the customer support phone number that appears next to a charge on a customer's bank or credit card statement. Payment processors like Stripe and Shopify Payments require one so cardholders can contact the merchant about a charge. ZebraFone gives you a dedicated number for this, so your personal one never appears.
When you sign up to accept payments, the processor uses the support number on your account as the billing descriptor contact. Most solo sellers and creators only have a personal number, so that's what gets sent to every customer's statement. Often they don't realize it until a customer calls or a charge is disputed.
No. You don't need an LLC or a registered business to accept card payments. Individuals, freelancers, and creators do it every day. What every payment processor does require is a customer support phone number on the account, and by default that ends up being your personal number, which can then show up on your customers' bank statements. ZebraFone gives you a dedicated number to list instead, so you meet the requirement without handing strangers your personal one.
When a customer sees an unfamiliar charge, they call the number on their statement. Your ZebraFone greeting tells them who you are and what the charge is for, and lets them leave a message. They get an answer instead of disputing the charge with their bank, which saves you the fee and the lost sale.
$48/year for a local US or Canada number, or $72/year for toll-free. One flat annual fee, every feature included, cancel any time.
Any platform that asks for a customer support or billing phone number, including Stripe, Shopify Payments, and Substack. It's a standard US and Canada phone number, so it works anywhere a real number is required.
