About Stripe

Stripe is an online payment processing tool for internet businesses. Whether managing a subscription service, an on-demand marketplace, an e-commerce store, or a crowdfunding platform, Stripe’s meticulously designed APIs and functionality help users create the best possible product for their users.

Stripe allows users to bill customers on a recurring basis, set up a marketplace, or simply accept payments using its fully integrated, global payments platform. Developers are able to rapidly build production-ready integrations with modern tools, from React components to real-time webhooks. Using Stripe’s developer platform means less maintenance for legacy systems and more focus on core customer and product experiences.

Organizations can accept all major debit and credit card payments in 135+ currencies. If needed, enable 3D Secure for any payment. Stripe supports more than just cards using global payment methods, which can be activated from the dashboard including ACH credit transfers, Alipay, Bancontact, Giropay, and more.

Stripe’s elegant abstractions simplify adding or changing billing models, including a powerful interface to test and roll out new pricing easily. Users can bill customers with one-off invoices or automatically on a recurring basis. Go global with support for different payment methods. The Stripe billing API is easy to integrate into existing websites, mobile apps, or even CRM systems. Developers can use out-of-the-box functionality to get started quickly or use our composable API building blocks to design fully customized subscription logic and pricing models.

Users can create and manage subscriptions and invoices—and view detailed financial reports—directly from the dashboard. Stripe doesn’t limit the number of team members that can be added and supports granular roles and permissions to help manage access.

Connect, Stripe's routing and payout engine, will automatically track balances, batch earnings into payouts, time transfers with local cutoffs, and retry failed transfers. Users can also incorporate advanced flows like account debits, one-to-many payments, and others. Connect’s payout engine lets users specify payout timing for users, and includes instant payouts, which allows users to receive funds within minutes. Connect helps get recipients paid faster and removes errors and reconciliation work.
