Case studies

Glossier uses Stripe to build delightful checkout flows

Glossier is a direct-to-consumer beauty brand that wanted to find a partner to help them create a customer-centric payments experience.

Problem

Customer experience is a critical part of Glossier’s brand. They wanted a payments provider that would allow them to build a streamlined checkout flow for both their online and in-person experience.

Solution

Glossier chose Stripe for its simplicity, reliability and scale, clear documentation, and global reach—which let Glossier create a smooth checkout experience for its customers. Especially during periods of high volume, Stripe’s reliability has allowed Glossier’s team to focus on their customer experience instead of managing their payments stack.

Castlery uses Stripe to streamline operations

Castlery is a direct-to-consumer furniture brand that needed a partner to help them centralize purchases online and in-person across the globe.

Problem

Castlery sold products both online and offline in physical showrooms. Transactions processed in-store required purchase information to be manually copied over into Castlery’s internal systems, which created unnecessary overhead for their team members.

Solution

Castlery migrated their entire payments system to Stripe. By having a unified view of their customers across channels, they were able to personalize support, speed up financial reconciliation, and accelerate their refund process from weeks to days.

Dermalogica uses Stripe to prevent fraud

Dermalogica is a professional skincare brand that needed help preventing fraudsters from making purchases without blocking legitimate customers.

Problem

Skincare and cosmetic brands are often targets for fraud due to the high resale value of their products. In addition, Dermalogica’s mix of professional and consumer sales meant that a one-size-fits-all fraud solution would not work for them.

Solution

Dermalogica worked with Stripe to tailor fraud prevention to their unique customer base made up of both individual consumers and professional buyers with large order sizes. In just 6 months, they were able to cut fraud in half, while keeping the checkout experience smooth and frictionless for legitimate customers.

Waitrose uses Stripe to scale new services

Waitrose & Partners is a UK-based supermarket chain that needed help scaling their online ordering and delivery service.

Problem

As the demand for online groceries grew rapidly due to lockdown measures in the UK, Waitrose needed help scaling quickly and ensuring that checkout was as user-friendly as possible. It was especially important for them to create an intuitive buying experience for customers who are forced to use online ordering for the first time.

Solution

Using Stripe, the Waitrose team created a checkout flow that adapts to the user’s device, automatically displays card number inputs to directly match the formatting on the end customer’s card, and offers a numerical keypad on mobile when appropriate.
