For business teams

End-to-end billing, no code required

Start accepting recurring payments in minutes. Use Invoicing to collect payments from existing customers or share a payment link to sell a subscription – no code required. Once you're set up, you can manage accounts and view detailed financial and revenue reports directly from the Dashboard. You can also enable your customers to self-manage their subscriptions by sharing a link to a secure, prebuilt customer portal.

Having a billing system that lets you stay nimble to respond to customers' needs is really critical. Stripe gives you that flexibility.

Compliance

Protect your revenue, simplify PSD2 compliance

Since September 2019, PSD2 regulation requires your European customers to provide Strong Customer Authentication for subscription and invoice payments. Stripe Billing helps protect your revenue by identifying which charges require SCA and triggering 3D Secure authentication when required.

Minimise churn

Banks will decline recurring payments that require SCA unless you obtain authentication from customers. Stripe can automatically email your subscribers to request 3D Secure authentication and minimise involuntary churn. You can customise the emails to match your brand and create reminders if customers don’t take action.

Invoicing

Customisable and comprehensive hosted invoices

Send recurring invoices for subscriptions or one-off invoices in a few clicks. Get your invoices paid faster with credit and debit cards, and configure email reminders for invoices that are overdue. Tailor invoices to match your brand, configure templates to display just the right customer and product information, and apply inclusive or exclusive tax rates for different locales.

Global templates

Send compliant invoices in 13 languages and configure custom text fields, footers and memos to display all the necessary customer and product information.

Flexible tax collection

Manually apply tax rates to individual line items or whole invoices. Or, use Stripe Tax to automatically calculate and collect sales tax, VAT, and GST in your invoices.

Match your brand

Customise the look and feel of invoices by adding your logo and selecting the colour palette. You can even add a personal message, like a thank-you note.

A more efficient way to accept wire transfers and bank transfers

While often more effective for larger invoice amounts, supporting payment methods such as bank transfers and wires can require tedious and manual accounts receivable efforts. Stripe Billing automates how businesses support B2B payment methods.

Automate reconciliation

Stripe generates virtual bank account numbers to keep your company’s banking details private and automatically reconciles incoming payments with outstanding invoices.

Retention

From one-time order to lifetime customer

Automate every part of recurring relationships – from managing customer events to retrying failed payments at the ideal time.

Reduce involuntary churn

Nearly a quarter of churn is involuntary – it’s caused by missed payments or declined cards. Stripe’s dunning tools help businesses recover 38% of failed recurring payments on average. And, businesses using our smart retries recover 11% more revenue than those retrying failed payments on a set schedule.

We recovered 12% of revenue through Stripe Billing’s automatic card updater.

Automatic card updater

Stripe works directly with card networks to update payment details with new card numbers or expiry dates.

Smart retry logic

Machine learning algorithms train on data from across the Stripe network to optimise retry logic and failed payments.

Automatic reminders

Maximise your chances of getting paid with prebuilt email reminders for missed or overdue payments.

Optimise the customer lifecycle

Use Stripe as a system of record for the customer lifecycle: manage important events such as automatically provisioning services for new subscribers or sending reminders for renewals. You can also enable your customers to self-manage their subscriptions with the customer portal.

Build vs. buy

Building your own billing system requires significant investment, and it’s flat-out difficult to get right.

Businesses often cobble something together to support an initial launch, but underestimate the complexity and costs down the line. A home-grown solution needs to be continuously maintained to support new product launches, business models, pricing experiments, global expansion, changes in regulatory requirements, and a host of other challenges as business grows.
Stripe Billing offers the functionality you need to quickly get started today, but with the flexibility and features to support you at scale, so you can focus on building your business.
