Get started

The fastest way to integrate Stripe

Checkout’s intuitive APIs and documentation make it easy to get started, and easy to iterate.

Modular in nature

Use Checkout as your all-in-one payment page, or use it only for specific payment methods by combining it with our embeddable UI components.

Supports advanced use cases

Checkout works with our other APIs to let you set up subscriptions or power your platform or marketplace payments.

Security

Built-in fraud prevention and compliance

Powerful fraud protection

Checkout uses machine learning to help you distinguish fraudsters from customers. Apply extra authentication to high-risk payments, or let us take on fraudulent disputes entirely with Chargeback Protection.

Compliance made easy

Qualify for the simplest method of PCI validation with a pre-filled SAQ A, and easily meet new regulatory requirements like Europe’s Strong Customer Authentication.

Throughout my 20 years in e-commerce, checkouts were the last thing you wanted to touch and the first to go down. With Stripe Checkout we don’t maintain this ourselves any more. I can’t emphasise enough how big that is.

Bryan Mahoney, Co-Founder & CTO

I actually think all the membership and subscription stuff we've launched in the last year wouldn't have been possible if we didn't use Checkout – and it has become an active competitive advantage since then, based on the sheer number of features and flexibility.

John O'Nolan, Founder and CEO

Using Stripe Checkout just made it a lot simpler to think about payments – it’s like an entire component that we can mentally hand off to Stripe.

Victoria Kirst, Director of Platform

With Stripe Checkout, we can provide a smooth and secure experience to our global audience, with an easy and reliable integration to our other systems.
