What is Stripe?

Stripe makes it easy for developers to accept credit cards on the web.

The new standard in online payments

Stripe is the best software platform for running an internet business. We handle billions of dollars every year for forward-thinking businesses around the world.

The complete toolkit for internet business

Stripe builds the most powerful and flexible tools for internet commerce. Whether you’re creating a subscription service, an on-demand marketplace, an e-commerce store, or a crowdfunding platform, Stripe’s meticulously designed APIs and unmatched functionality help you create the best possible product for your users. Millions of the world’s most innovative technology companies are scaling faster and more efficiently by building their businesses on Stripe.

Developers first

We believe that payments is a problem rooted in code, not finance. We obsessively seek out elegant, composable abstractions that enable robust, scalable, flexible integrations. Because we eliminate needless complexity and extraneous details, you can get up and running with Stripe in just a couple of minutes.

// Require the Stripe library with a test secret key.
const stripe = require('stripe')('sk_test_BQokikJOvBiI2HlWgH4olfQ2');

// Create a payment intent to start a purchase flow.
let paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.create({
  amount: 2000,
  currency: 'usd',
  description: 'My first payment',
});

// Complete the payment using a test card.
paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.confirm(paymentIntent.id, {
  payment_method: 'pm_card_visa',
});
