A guide to payment methods
Understand the importance of payment methods and how to decide which ones to offer based on your business model and customer preferences.
Case studies
Nikkei chooses Stripe to improve access to its fast-growing digital platform
Nikkei publishes many of the leading media brands of the business world, including its signature financial newspaper, The Nikkei. In 2010, it launched Nikkei ID, a digital service platform that now has more than 10 million members. Nikkei noticed that barriers in the payment and registration process were constraining its growth.
Challenge
Nikkei ID provides a single point of entry to a range of content. But the registration process was burdensome. It required prospects to input a lot of information, and only accepted credit card payments. This resulted in high abandonment rates.
Solution
Nikkei decided to simplify the experience by offering Apple Pay. And rather than modify its existing billing engine at significant engineering cost, it implemented the new payment method by adopting Stripe. The process was much faster, and resulted in a more comprehensive suite of payment options, than anything offered by other payments processors.

Stripe always had a large presence in the engineering community and I personally had a strong interest in the company. Stripe’s service is highly scalable and will allow us to offer flexible billing plans.
ANA Group turns to Stripe to build a next-generation mileage programme
All Nippon Airways (ANA) is one of Japan’s pre-eminent airlines. Heavily affected by the pandemic, ANA wanted to enrich their customers’ daily lives and engage with them beyond the activities of flying and traveling.
Challenge
ANA Group launched a new digital touchpoint with users in the post pandemic era; a mobile-based membership ANA Pocket. They wanted to create a premium offering for its members, and needed a payments platform that could support it.
Solution
Having previously trusted Stripe Connect for their crowdfunding platform, ANA Group turned again to Stripe to build ANA Pocket. They used Stripe Billing, which enables implementing and managing subscription payments with ease. ANA Group built momentum with the news service and rewarded loyal customers with the seamless experience that they expected.

Solution
Bodum localized its checkout experience to scale its online business to 23 countries across Europe, America, Australia, and Asia. Implementing Stripe Elements took less than a month initially, and Bodum can now turn on any new payment methods that become available, directly from the Dashboard with no additional engineering required.
