Stripe
Billing & PaymentsThe industry-standard payment processing platform with subscriptions, invoicing, checkout pages, fraud protection, and an enormous ecosystem of integrations.
Stripe is the world's most popular payment infrastructure platform, providing a developer-first suite of APIs for accepting payments, managing subscriptions, preventing fraud, and handling complex billing across 135+ currencies and hundreds of payment methods. Its ecosystem includes Stripe Connect for marketplaces, Billing for subscriptions, Radar for ML-powered fraud detection, and Terminal for in-person payments, with SDKs in every major language and thousands of pre-built integrations.
