Finance & PaymentsStripe
Payment infrastructure built for developers, from checkout to complex billing logic.
Stripe is a developer-first payment processing platform that handles online payments, subscription billing, invoicing, and financial reporting for internet businesses. It is the default choice for SaaS companies, marketplaces, and e-commerce products at every stage, from pre-revenue startups to publicly traded companies. The core problem Stripe solves is the complexity of accepting money on the internet: PCI compliance, fraud detection, international currencies, and recurring billing are each non-trivial engineering problems, and Stripe wraps all of them into well-documented APIs. Beyond basic payment processing, Stripe offers products for subscription lifecycle management (Stripe Billing), fraud prevention (Stripe Radar), tax calculation (Stripe Tax), and payouts to third parties (Stripe Connect). The API-first design means engineering teams can typically integrate a full checkout flow in hours rather than weeks.
Engineering and finance teams at internet companies of any size that accept online payments, particularly SaaS products with subscription billing or platforms with marketplace payout requirements. The right moment to adopt Stripe is at the very beginning of building payment functionality, since migrating payment processors after accumulating customer billing data is one of the more painful engineering migrations a team can face.

Stripe Billing and Subscriptions
Handles the full subscription lifecycle including trials, upgrades, downgrades, prorations, and dunning for failed payments. SaaS teams use this to avoid building subscription management logic from scratch, which is significantly more complex than it initially appears.
Stripe Radar (Fraud Prevention)
Machine learning-based fraud detection that scores every transaction and can be tuned with custom rules. Teams processing significant transaction volume use Radar to reduce chargebacks without adding unnecessary friction for legitimate customers.
Stripe Connect (Marketplace Payouts)
Enables platforms and marketplaces to split payments and pay out to connected accounts (sellers, contractors, service providers). This is the standard approach for two-sided marketplace products where money flows through the platform to third parties.
Stripe Tax
Automatically calculates and collects sales tax, VAT, and GST across jurisdictions based on the buyer's location. This matters for SaaS companies selling internationally who cannot afford a dedicated tax compliance team.
Developer API and Webhooks
Stripe's REST API is among the most thoroughly documented in the payments industry, with client libraries for every major language and a robust webhook system for building event-driven payment workflows. This makes custom checkout experiences and backend integrations significantly faster to build and maintain.
Stripe connects natively with Salesforce, HubSpot, QuickBooks, Xero, Slack, Zapier, and most major e-commerce platforms including Shopify and WooCommerce. It typically sits at the financial transaction layer of a software stack, feeding revenue data into CRM and accounting tools downstream.
Commonuse cases.
Launching subscription billing for a SaaS product
Engineering teams use Stripe Billing to model pricing plans, handle trial periods, and manage the full subscription lifecycle without writing their own billing engine. The result is months of saved development time and a battle-tested system that handles edge cases like proration and involuntary churn out of the box.
Accepting payments internationally across multiple currencies
Stripe handles currency conversion, local payment methods (SEPA, iDEAL, Alipay, etc.), and the compliance overhead of operating across payment regions. Teams can expand to new markets without engaging a separate payment processor per region.
Building a marketplace that splits revenue between platform and sellers
Stripe Connect lets marketplace engineers collect payments from buyers, take a platform fee, and route the remainder to seller accounts, all through a single API integration. This avoids the legal and financial complexity of handling third-party funds outside of a regulated payment infrastructure.
