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 maximize conversion while minimizing 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 optimize routing paths, provide the most granular data, and reduce transaction latency.

Stripe’s entire platform is designed to minimize declines and maximize 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.
