How We Use Stripe for Online Payments

Stripe offers a robust API that allows us to create bespoke payment solutions, including online payments, subscription management, and marketplace capabilities. By leveraging Stripe’s advanced features, we can deliver a fully customised experience that aligns with your business needs, ensuring that your payment infrastructure is as agile and innovative as your business.

Why Stripe?

Stripe is a powerful and versatile payment processor that has rapidly become the go-to solution for businesses of all sizes. Its strength lies in its flexibility and developer-friendly API, which allows for the creation of custom payment solutions far beyond what typical plugins or off-the-shelf platforms can offer. Whether you're running a simple e-commerce site or a complex marketplace with multiple vendors, Stripe's suite of tools can be tailored to fit your specific requirements.

Custom Online Payment Solutions

We specialise in developing bespoke payment solutions that integrate seamlessly with your website or web application. By utilising the Stripe API, we can create a fully customised checkout experience that matches your brand’s look and feel, provides a smooth user experience, and ensures secure transactions.

• Tailored Checkout Process: Unlike standard plugins, a custom integration allows us to design a checkout process that suits your exact needs. We can implement one-click payments, personalised invoices, and multi-currency support, all while maintaining the highest security standards.
• Advanced Fraud Prevention: Stripe offers advanced fraud detection tools like Radar, which we can integrate directly into your payment system to help prevent fraudulent transactions, protecting both you and your customers.
• Custom Reporting and Analytics: You can utilise custom dashboards and reports that provide deeper insights into your sales data, helping you make informed decisions to grow your business.

Subscription Management

For businesses operating on a subscription model, Stripe’s billing features are particularly powerful. We can develop a custom subscription management system that automates the entire process, from customer sign-up to recurring billing and renewal reminders.

• Flexible Subscription Plans: Using Stripe’s API, we can create subscription plans with varying pricing tiers, trial periods, and add-ons. This flexibility allows you to offer a range of options to your customers, catering to different needs and budgets.
• Automated Billing and Invoicing: We can set up automated billing cycles and generate customised invoices that reflect your brand identity. Additionally, Stripe’s proration feature ensures that customers are billed accurately when they upgrade or downgrade their subscription plans.
• Dunning Management: Stripe’s dunning tools help manage failed payments by automatically retrying failed transactions and sending reminders to customers. This reduces churn and improves customer retention.

Building Marketplaces with Stripe Connect

For businesses looking to build a marketplace, Stripe Connect offers the ideal solution. We can develop a marketplace platform where you can onboard vendors, process payments, and distribute funds—all through a single, integrated system.

• Custom Vendor Onboarding: We can design a seamless onboarding process for your vendors, including custom forms, verification processes, and payout schedules. This ensures a smooth experience for both you and your vendors.
• Split Payments: Stripe Connect allows for the automatic distribution of payments between your platform and your vendors. We can customise this to suit your business model, whether it’s a simple commission-based structure or a more complex revenue-sharing arrangement.
• Global Reach: Stripe Connect supports multiple currencies and international payments, allowing you to expand your marketplace globally without worrying about the complexities of cross-border transactions.
