Accept payments

Customer interfaces

Create the perfect checkout experience that works across browsers and devices of all sizes. Choose from a range of options to find the integration that’s right for you.

Pre-built payment form

Get started quickly and easily with Checkout, our pre-built payment form that you can customise to match your brand. Embed Checkout into your website or direct customers to a Stripe-hosted page.

Modular UI components

Use the new Stripe Elements to design a custom payment form for your site. All Elements are built with the collective experience of Stripe’s front-end, design, and analytics teams to help minimise user error, increase the number of successful payments, and optimise your revenue.

API-only

Build a fully API-based integration or only use our javascript library to tokenise your customers’ payment details – all while designing your custom checkout UI.

Accept payments in person using Stripe Terminal. Developer-friendly SDKs let you create a custom checkout that brings Stripe’s payments platform to your in-person transactions.

Authentication

Our dynamic payments API lets you apply smarter authentication logic to maximise conversion while minimising the disruption to user experience.

Authorisation

Stripe’s pre-processing layer helps every business get closer to the bare metal through multi-regional direct connections to the major card networks, including Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. This lets Stripe optimise routing paths, provide the most granular data, and reduce transaction latency.

Stripe’s entire platform is designed to minimise declines and maximise revenue, from tools that update stored card details and identify the best time to retry failed recurring payments, to machine learning models that can recapture declines in real-time.
