WooCommerce partners with Stripe to launch in 17 new countries in 3 months
As one of the most popular ecommerce platforms in the world, WooCommerce enables WordPress businesses to sell and manage orders directly from their websites.
Challenge
WooCommerce wanted to help its merchants adapt quickly to changing consumer habits through its own integrated payments solutions.
Solution
WooCommerce decided to launch a brand new platform, WooCommerce Payments, by integrating several different Stripe products to enable merchants to do everything from taking contactless payments and accessing funds in real time to tapping into business funding to keep operations afloat. In just three months and with a team of fewer than 20 people, the company partnered with Stripe to launch WooCommerce Payments in 17 countries—from Canada to New Zealand and across Europe.
Products
Building on Stripe, we started with payments, billing, and subscriptions. But we’re quickly adding Stripe Terminal for in-person payments, and planning to offer a full suite of fintech services to help our merchants grow their business, including access to capital and more—not only in the US, but also Europe and other regions where WooCommerce thrives. We chose Stripe as its extensive options across payments and financial services are what enable us to do this, and do it rapidly without compromise.
