Use Stripe’s composable API to create flat-rate plans, per seat, tiered and usage-based subscriptions, or bill your customers using flexible invoices. With built-in solutions to automatically update expired cards, retry failed payments and let customers manage their payment information, Stripe makes it easy for businesses to set up and manage recurring payments.

Stripe provides a set of programmable APIs and tools to let you facilitate payments and pay out sellers globally. From verifying your sellers’ identities to routing payments, Stripe makes it easy for platforms and marketplaces to manage their payments while staying compliant.

Our dynamic payments API lets you apply smarter authentication logic to maximise conversion while minimising the disruption to user experience. Where customer authentication is required by rules like SCA, our platform applies all relevant exemptions before requiring users to provide additional information.

Stripe’s pre-processing layer helps every business get closer to the bare metal through multi-regional direct connections to the major card networks, including Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. This lets Stripe optimise routing paths, provide the most granular data, and reduce transaction latency.

Stripe’s entire platform is designed to minimise declines and maximise revenue, from tools that update stored card details and identify the best time to retry failed recurring payments, to machine learning models that can recapture declines in real-time.

Identify and prevent fraud with Stripe Radar – a machine learning fraud system that’s fully integrated with your payments. Radar combines adaptive algorithms that learn from Stripe’s global network of millions of users.

Reduce your risk of fraud and chargebacks by adding an additional layer of authentication that protects you from liability for fraudulent card payments. Dynamic 3D Secure lets you protect conversion by selectively applying authentication to only high-risk transactions or payments that require authentication due to regulation.

Eliminate manual work related to handling disputes with our end-to-end automated process that works directly with the card networks. Based on the type of dispute and associated network rules, we help submit evidence that’s most likely to see you win.

Use SQL to quickly analyse your Stripe data, create custom reports, and get insights – right inside the Dashboard. With structured access to your data, you can do things such as: identify which customers are least likely to churn this year, pinpoint your most popular SKUs, or generate a list of unpaid invoices.

View and manage all your Stripe data, customers, plans, balances and more. You can initiate refunds, review possibly fraudulent charges and manage disputes. You’ll also have access to everything from bank transfers to HTTP request logs at your fingertips.

Track and manage your payments on the go by seeing your daily earnings, new customers and payments. You can also get notifications and take quick actions like completing a refund.

Tailor data access for your team to ensure that business-sensitive information and actions are protected. Keep track of recent activity on your Stripe account from all of your team members – from bank account changes to logins or data exports.

Secure access to the Stripe Dashboard and your account data.

Attach notes for your teammates on payments and refunds to give them context when they jump into the Dashboard.
