Unify online and in-person payments

Build a unified commerce experience across your online and in-person customer interactions. Stripe Terminal provides platforms and enterprises with developer tools, pre-certified card readers, Tap to Pay on compatible iPhone and Android devices, and cloud-based device management.

Unify commerce

Manage online and in-person payments on a single, global platform for simplified reporting and a unified customer view.

Customise your checkout

Integrate your custom POS app with Stripe Terminal to design a checkout tailored to your business.

Scale with ease

Expand in-person payments to new markets with a single, global platform – no need for regional integrations.

Simplify hardware logistics

Automate reader ordering, fulfilment and management – or accept payments without additional hardware using Tap to Pay.

Unified commerce

Create a cohesive customer experience

With a unified commerce platform, you can meet customers where they are – across channels, at any stage of their journey. Stripe consolidates payments on a single platform for the core functionality and rich insights you need to provide a seamless, personalised experience for every customer.

Devices

Take payments in more places

Our pre-certified devices serve a wide range of use cases, in countertop or handheld environments. All Stripe readers offer end-to-end encryption, cloud-based ordering and logistics, and EMV certification. With select readers, you can customise splash screens, collect customer input, or run your own POS app directly. You can also use Tap to Pay alongside – or instead of –card readers, to enable contactless payments directly on compatible iPhone or Android devices.

Device ordering and management

Simplify your hardware logistics

Stripe makes it easy to order, manage, and monitor your readers, wherever they are.

Hardware ordering

Order readers from the Stripe Dashboard or offer white-labelled ordering with the Terminal Hardware Orders API (invite only) – we’ll handle the warehousing and delivery.

Device management

Manage your entire fleet of Stripe readers directly from your Stripe Dashboard. Register and configure your devices, and monitor their status in real time to support quick troubleshooting.

Case studies

Dripos unifies commerce with Stripe Terminal and Stripe Reader S700

Dripos powers more than 100,000 coffee shops and cafés in the United States.

Challenge

Coffee shop owners who use Dripos, such as Revolución, want to offer their customers seamless experiences – whether they’re ordering at the counter, at a table, or at a pop-up event.

Solution

Stripe Reader S700 allowed users to run a custom POS app such as Dripos directly on the device.

Impact

“Now we can put all the things we have – including our loyalty program, receipts, and tipping – onto the reader. It’s basically like the register unit, but on the go,” said Avery Durrant, co-founder and co-CEO at Dripos.
