Stripe Apps Agreement

Effective date: April 28, 2026

Overview of Apps Agreement  

This Apps Agreement governs a multi-party ecosystem. Stripe, LLC ("Stripe") provides the Covered Services and is the primary contracting party when you create an App and list it in Stripe’s Marketplace. 

Developer is any person or entity that builds, lists, or otherwise accesses the Covered Services under Parts I and II. 

A Developer who is also a Stripe User and who offers its own products or services to Customers through a Stripe Application via the Stripe Provisioning Services is a Provider for the purposes of Part III; every Provider is therefore also a Developer, and the terms of Parts I and II continue to apply to a Provider in that capacity alongside the additional obligations set out in Part III.

Sold through Link, LLC ("PSCo"), a Stripe Affiliate, provides the Stripe Provisioning Services and acts as marketplace facilitator. The Stripe Provisioning Services only cover the calculation, collection, and remittance of Indirect Taxes in Facilitator Countries, and Providers are responsible for all other tax liabilities. 

This Stripe Apps Agreement (the "Apps Agreement") is an agreement between Stripe, LLC ("Stripe", "us", or "we"), its Affiliate Sold through Link, LLC (“PSCo”) (for the Stripe Provisioning Services),  and you or the entity you represent ("you", "your", or "Developer") and governs your development of Applications, your use of the Stripe App Marketplace, and your use of the Stripe Provisioning Services (together, the “Covered Services”). Developer must use the Covered Services solely for its legitimate business purposes and in compliance with the Documentation.

This Apps Agreement is effective when Developer first accesses or uses the Covered Services (the “Effective Date”) and continues until Developer or Stripe terminates it (the “Term”).  

Capitalized terms used in this Apps Agreement that are not defined inline are defined in Section 36 (Definitions).
