Learn about payment methods

Accepting more payment methods helps your business expand its global reach and improve checkout conversion.

We categorize payment methods into eight families:

  • Cards
  • Bank debits
  • Bank redirects
  • Bank transfers
  • Buy now, pay later
  • Real-time payments
  • Vouchers
  • Wallets

Transaction fees

For information on payment method transaction fees, refer to local payment method pricing.

Each family has similar features, a single integration, and common checkout experiences. After you’ve integrated one payment method, you can add another within the same family with minimal changes to your integration.

To learn more about which payment methods are right for your business, see our payment method guide.

Note

If you’re building an integration with Stripe Elements, Link makes it easy to create a frictionless payment experience for your customers. Your customers can save, change, and manage all their payment details in Link without any impact to your integration. Meanwhile, as Stripe adds support for more payment methods to Link, your integration can automatically accept them, without requiring you to make changes to your payment method settings.

Cards

Cards are a common way for consumers and businesses to pay online or in person. Stripe supports global and local card networks. See the card brands that Stripe supports.
