Stripe Partner Ecosystem

Learn about the the requirements to join, and benefits of being a Stripe Partner.

Partner with Stripe to accelerate growth. Join a global community that’s helping ambitious businesses by providing industry-leading payments and financial infrastructure. As a Stripe Partner, we’ll give you the tools and resources to deepen customer engagement, become more knowledgeable with Stripe solutions, and earn more revenue.

Partner types

The Stripe Partner Ecosystem offers two partnership types with unique benefits to help you succeed. Whether you offer solutions or services, you’ll find benefits and best practices that align with your customer engagement strategy.

Consulting partners

Consulting partners advise, implement, deploy, or offer managed services with Stripe. You may be a systems integrator, software development agency, payments advisor, or a digital agency. We will help you build your Stripe-based services practice with access to technical training, sales, and marketing resources.

Technology partners

Technology partners build products to help businesses operate. You may be an independent software vendor (ISV), a payment method provider, cloud provider, or hardware vendor. We will help you build on Stripe or offer solutions with Stripe by providing access to technical training, sales, and marketing resources.

Additionally, we’ve created an Embedded Payments track if you’re a partner who specifically embeds payments (using Stripe Connect and related products) and financial services into your products to improve customer experiences, differentiate offerings, and create new revenue opportunities. These Embedded Payments partners have additional business and technical requirements.

Specializations

Stand out in the Stripe Partner Ecosystem by achieving Specializations. This is the highest achievement a partner can earn with Stripe. As a Specialized partner, you will have demonstrated excellence in your field and have a proven track record of success with Stripe products and solutions. Both Consulting and Technology partners are able to achieve multiple Specializations. Specialized partners are eligible to receive enhanced benefits, incentives, and recognition.

Specialization categories include the following examples (not inclusive of all):

Stripe Products (Payments, Connect, more…)Product mastery and proven customer success with Stripe products (for example, Payments, Connect, Billing, Invoicing, Issuing, and Terminal).
Stripe + ERP (SAP)Proven track record of customer success in integrating Stripe to ERP applications and business processes (for example, SAP).
Stripe + CRM (Salesforce)Proven track record of customer success in integrating Stripe to CRM applications and business processes (for example, Salesforce).
Stripe + ecommerce Salesforce (Adobe)Proven track record of customer success in integrating Stripe to ecommerce applications and business processes (for example, Salesforce or Adobe).
