WooCommerce partners with Stripe to launch in 17 new countries in 3 months

WooCommerce is one of the most popular e-commerce platforms in the world, enabling WordPress businesses to sell and manage orders directly from their websites.

Challenge

WooCommerce already had a long-time partnership with Stripe for core payment processing capabilities, but realised it could further leverage Stripe to empower its merchants to offer local payment methods.

Solution

WooCommerce set out to expand its platform offering to match the rapidly evolving needs of its merchants. To do this, it decided to launch a brand new platform, WooCommerce Payments, by integrating several different Stripe products – including Connect, Instant Payouts, Terminal, and Billing.

Products

23 payment methods

Stripe enabled us to get WooCommerce Payments to market fast. In three months, we were live in 17 additional countries. The fact that we were able to support merchants in so many markets that quickly is huge.

Amazon simplifies cross-border payments with Stripe

Amazon set out to build a payments infrastructure that not only delivers an innovative and personalised checkout experience, but also a set of payments services that power Amazon’s portfolio of products and businesses around the world.

Challenge

As Amazon expanded into new geographies, it sought to bring a new level of simplicity to international payments.

Solution

Amazon partnered with Stripe to streamline global payments experiences, particularly as the company looked to launch in new countries quickly. For example, when Amazon expanded into Poland, the team worked with Stripe to optimise the checkout experience with BLIK, a popular local payment method in the region.

Products

6 payment methods

One of the things we really valued about Stripe is it got us into a lot of different countries quickly and helped lower the barrier of entry for us.

Bodum expands globally by leveraging local payment methods with Stripe

Bodum is a kitchenware manufacturer producing high-quality coffee and tea solutions and household accessories. It creates functional designs at affordable prices with a strong focus on sustainability and environmental responsibility.

Challenge

With the majority of customers ordering from a mobile device, Bodum was looking to build a seamless online customer experience for both desktop and mobile.

Solution

Bodum localised 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.

Products

20+ payment methods

Mobile checkout is the future, but the distraction rate is very high. If a customer is buying something through a mobile site and they get another notification, the risk of losing that purchase is high. Local payment methods are really important to help customers complete their purchase as quickly as possible.

Deliveroo expands globally and launches new revenue stream with Stripe

Founded in the United Kingdom in 2013, Deliveroo is a leading on-demand food delivery service that works with more than 115,000 restaurant and grocery partners across 12 markets.
