## What is Stripe?

Stripe is payments and financial infrastructure for internet businesses. The core is Payments — online and in person, across 135+ currencies and payment methods — with Billing on top for subscriptions, usage-based pricing, and invoicing, and Connect for marketplaces and platforms that need to pay out to third parties. Around that sit Radar for fraud detection, Tax and Identity for compliance, Issuing for card programs, Payouts for global money movement, and Sigma and Data Pipeline for reporting.

Pricing is per transaction with no subscription. Stripe processed US$1.9 trillion in payments in 2025, reports 99.999% historical uptime and 500M+ API requests a day, and is used by Amazon, Shopify, Figma, Instacart, Uber, and Ford, along with 88% of the Forbes AI 50.

## FAQs

Common questions about Stripe

How much does Stripe cost?

There is no subscription — you pay per transaction, with rates varying by country, payment method, and product. Additional Stripe products such as Billing, Tax, and Radar carry their own per-use fees.

Do I need a developer to use Stripe?

Not necessarily. Payment Links, invoicing, and hosted Checkout work without writing code, while the API and SDKs are there when you need a custom flow.

Can Stripe handle subscriptions and marketplaces?

Yes — Billing covers recurring and usage-based pricing, and Connect handles marketplaces and platforms that need to split payments and pay out to sellers.
