Case studies

ChatGPT Plus sees faster checkout with Link customers.

OpenAI builds models such as ChatGPT and DALL·E. These models demonstrate the potential of AI to transform the way we communicate and create.

Challenge

OpenAI sought to introduce its first paid subscription plan, ChatGPT Plus, and quickly stand up commercial operations that could scale.

Solution

Within weeks, OpenAI was able to integrate Stripe payments products, including Link. Link enables OpenAI’s customers to pay 40% faster.

Products

The performance of Link speaks for itself – the product has significantly increased our conversion rate and delivered a faster checkout experience.

Kickstarter

One in three of all payments on Kickstarter use Link. Kickstarter is the premier crowdfunding platform for creative projects.

Link powers one in three payments on Kickstarter

Challenge

Kickstarter had strategic plans that required it to find a partner that would help the company quickly enter new markets, adapt the platform for local regulations and add local payment methods.

Solution

Within six weeks of adoption, 7.4% of transactions were processed through Link. Kickstarter now sees around 70% of Link transactions that are from returning Link customers, demonstrating Link's ability to streamline checkout for first-time backers.

Products

When a new creator comes to Kickstarter, they bring their own community of friends and family who may not be familiar with crowdfunding. If they get to the checkout page and don't have a saved payment method, conversion is tougher. If those new backers have Link, it can unlock a huge number of pledges.
