Why Stripe

The complete financial stack for startups

Everything you need to get started fast

The best way to test customer willingness to pay and find product market fit with Stripe Payment Links and Stripe Invoicing. These two hosted payment options enable you to accept one click payments or get paid via Email.

Grow your business with Stripe

No matter your business model—SaaS, direct-to-consumer ecommerce, platform, marketplace—the Stripe platform applies intelligent optimizations based on billions in transactions to help block fraud and maximize revenue.

Go global with Stripe

Launch new markets, currencies, and payment methods—with minimal changes to your code. Stripe handles all cross-border money movement and currency conversion so you and your users receive payouts in your local currency.

Do more with the full suite

Set up advanced fraud protection, automate tax and VAT calculation, verify identities, analyze business data, increase conversion, mitigate churn, and much more.

Stripe creates a much better experience—now our drivers and helpers can onboard with just a few taps directly in our app, without any assistance required. With happy helpers, we can focus on expanding the business and adding new partners instead of manual payments processes.

As we grow, we really need a payments partner where we could have confidence in both the scalability and reliability. Stripe offered all that, plus it’s a single, unified platform for charging members and paying out to providers.

In seven years we went from saying, ‘These APIs look great—let’s see how this goes,’ to building a deep strategic relationship with Stripe. Stripe spends the time to identify what the long-term opportunities are and what the long-term approach should be.

Slack’s high authentication rates serve as an example of how leveraging the Stripe platform and continuously optimizing our billing infrastructure has helped us create a best-in-class payment experience.
