Why Stripe

Optimise revenue with the power of the Stripe platform

Enhance global payments conversion

Stripe supports 135+ currencies and dozens of global payment methods like Apple Pay, ACH, BACS, iDEAL, and SEPA Direct Debit that can help increase conversion by as much as 50%. We also help you handle regulatory requirements like SCA by triggering 3D Secure authentication when required.

Reduce churn with machine learning

Nearly a quarter of churn is involuntary. Stripe’s dunning tools help businesses recover 41% of failed recurring payments on average. Businesses using our smart retries recover 14% more revenue than those retrying failed payments on a set schedule.

Simplify accrual accounting with automated revenue reporting

Automate and configure revenue recognition so you can close your books quickly and accurately. Revenue Recognition effortlessly handles upgrades, downgrades, prorating, refunds, and disputes.

Save time and money by leveraging easy-to-use APIs

Launch a complete billing system in just a couple of weeks and spend less time maintaining a homegrown system. Stripe Billing offers all the functionality you need to get started quickly and features you’ll need to scale.

Maximising revenue for subscription businesses

At Stripe, we work with hundreds of thousands of SaaS and subscription-based businesses. In this video, we’ve distilled our top 3 learnings for creating a seamless billing and payment experience.

Case studies

Slack uses Stripe to automate payments & billing

Slack is a channel-based messaging platform that needed help automating custom billing schedules and allowing customers to update their own plans.

Problem

To meet rapidly growing demand, Slack expanded to serve more global customers and large-scale enterprises. Among other challenges, Slack needed to support a variety of payment methods in different regions, set up automation for a custom, usage-based invoicing system, and let customers adjust their own plans.

Solution

In just 2 weeks, Slack worked with Stripe to launch a new system that automated all their billing and payment collection needs across 15 countries. It dramatically reduced engineering time spent on maintaining an in-house system and helped their operational team spend less time responding to custom pricing requests.

Twilio partnered with Stripe to increase revenue

Twilio is a communication platform that needed a partner to help them improve global payments performance to increase conversion and revenue.

Problem

As Twilio expanded globally, they needed a payment processor equipped to handle international transactions at scale with high authorisation rates to maximise revenue uplift, reduce issuer declines, and reduce involuntary churn.

Solution

Twilio ran an A/B test with multiple major global payment processors monitoring authorisation rates across card networks. After weeks of testing, they saw a 10% uplift overall in authorisation rates from working with Stripe.

Typeform uses Stripe to launch flexible pricing plans

Typeform is a form builder that wanted to quickly launch new pricing as they developed new products, entered new markets, and closed custom deals.

Problem

Typeform needed to implement a global billing system that would allow charging monthly and annual subscription fees.

WeTransfer migrated to Stripe to scale faster

WeTransfer is a file transfer service that needed a partner to help them scale billing and payments as they grew in size and complexity.

Problem

WeTransfer was growing out of their homegrown billing and payments system which only supported two pricing plans and two currencies.

Solution

Instead of continuing to refactor their in-house system, WeTransfer migrated to Stripe to increase billing flexibility as they scaled. With Stripe, they launched new pricing plans, supported new global payment methods, automated payments collection, and added fraud detection.
