Stripe

Stripe is a comprehensive financial infrastructure platform designed to help businesses of all sizes accept payments, manage revenue, and move money globally. It provides APIs and tools that allow companies to integrate secure online payments into websites, mobile apps, and back-office systems with minimal friction. Stripe’s primary purpose is to simplify complex financial operations so businesses can focus on their core products and services.

Stripe supports a wide range of payment methods, including credit and debit cards, digital wallets, bank debits, bank transfers, and localized payment options, enabling businesses to serve customers in multiple countries and currencies. Its Billing and Invoicing products facilitate subscriptions, usage-based pricing, recurring payments, and automated dunning, while Stripe Connect powers multi-sided platforms and marketplaces with features like split payouts, onboarding, and compliance for sellers. Additional capabilities include fraud prevention with Stripe Radar, revenue and tax reporting, identity verification, and issuing virtual and physical cards. All of this is accessible through well-documented APIs, SDKs, and a robust dashboard for monitoring and reconciliation.
