What is Stripe?
Stripe is one of the most popular payment processors in the world. It was founded by Irish brothers Patrick and John Collison in 2010. Stripe work as an intermediary software between merchants and buyers. First, the buyer makes a purchase through the web app and uses Stripe as the payment gateway. Stripe is in charge of processing the payment from a debit or credit card, or mobile wallets and makes sure the transaction is not fraudulent. After the transaction has been processed, the merchant receives the money from the transaction. The advantage of using Stripe is that while is processing the payment it acts as the merchant during the transaction. The merchant who is selling the goods acts as a sub-merchant which means it doesn’t need to apply for a merchant account.

Using Stripe as your payment processor has multiple advantages over other payments gateways and processors. For example, by using Stripe you can process all of your payments directly on your website, so that means that when customers are at checkout they won’t be redirected to another domain to finish the payment. Other upper hands about using Stripe are:
✓ Almost immediate activation. You only need to provide some information about your business and bank account.
✓ There are no monthly or yearly fees. You only get charged a percentage commission for each transaction.
✓ You can set recurring and subscription payments. You can give your customers the option of paying month to month to keep a subscription or service.
✓ High compatibility and integration. Stripe lets you set up their payment gateway with ease, it is well documented and has multiple integrations with major and some small eCommerce platforms.
