Shopify has been doing this with Stripe for almost a decade, and we trust Stripe’s DNA to always do the right thing for its customers. If you’re good at building software, you think of APIs, architecture, speed, and resilience. This is what Stripe is so good at: making the complexity of money go away, being resilient, uptime, and beautiful APIs.

Creating payments experiences that combine payments innovation, reduced friction, and cost savings is at the core of what we do. Using Link to give customers the option to easily pay with their bank accounts puts us in a position to tick all those boxes while providing access to an increasingly popular mode of payment. Stripe shares our commitment to reliability, customer centricity, and continued innovation – which is why they are a key partner.

Through one integration, we were able to increase our acceptance rates by creating a bespoke approach for each market, offering relevant local payment methods, optimising payments, and navigating 3D Secure in a user-friendly way for our customers.

If you look at every company larger than us, they all use multiple payment processors – but Stripe didn’t exist when these companies were growing up. Our feeling is that we can’t just look to what our larger peers have before us – because now Stripe is here. We’re buying into Stripe’s platform and long-term vision.
