With Connect, your customers can accept 135+ currencies and dynamically surface 40+ payment methods to maximise conversion all over the world. Enable easier expansion with support for sales tax, VAT, and GST in 40+ countries. Offer payments online, by invoice, or at the point of sale.
Build a successful payment business
When you partner with Stripe, you’ll get access to tools, resources, and experts that can help ensure you hit the most important metrics and goals for your business.
Easily monetise every transaction on your platform with no-code pricing tools, margin reports, and revenue-driving capabilities such as Instant Payouts and Link.
We’ve partnered with Stripe for more than a decade to create a more fair and even playing field for our merchants. Stripe is excellent at making the complexity of money go away, being resilient, having fantastic uptime, and creating beautiful APIs.
Control how funds flow
Connect supports almost any type of money movement you can dream up. Pay out users quickly and reduce operational overhead with Connect’s global routing and payout engine. You can split funds between multiple users, instantly route payments across borders, and specify your earnings on each transaction.
Manage your platform at scale
Managing embedded payments typically requires a team of engineers and analysts, but Stripe helps you easily track and reconcile payments. In the US, Connect provides gross earnings tracking and automated 1099 form generation and delivery.
Security and compliance
Compliance built for platforms and marketplaces
Paying out money is complicated by stringent regulations that vary by country. Connect shifts payment obligations from you to Stripe. Under the hood, Connect tokenises card data to help with PCI compliance; manages identity verifications, KYC, and sanctions checks while onboarding your users to Connect; leverages Stripe’s licences around the world; and more.
Connect allows us to achieve compliance with minimal effort, spend practically no time on payments-related customer support, and keep the user experience on our platform. And, it’s reassuring to know that when we’re expanding to a new country, Stripe will be ready for us.
