Unify online and in-person payments

Leading enterprises and platforms use Stripe to unify commerce across channels, seamlessly integrate payments with their point of sale, and easily manage their hardware needs.

Unify commerce

Manage online and in-person payments on a single, global platform for simplified reporting and a unified customer view.

Integrate your way

Develop your own custom POS app or choose from hundreds of third-party POS and commerce integrations.

Offer popular payment methods

Enable your customers to pay how they want to with multiple card brands and digital wallets across 23 countries.

Simplify hardware logistics

Automate reader ordering, fulfilment, and management – or accept payments without extra hardware using Tap to Pay.

Unified commerce

Create a cohesive customer experience

By consolidating payments data on a unified commerce platform, you can recognise repeat customers, provide personalised service (such as loyalty rewards or product recommendations), and enable seamless experiences (such as in-store pick-up for online orders).

Devices

Take payments in more places

Accept in-person payments in a wide range of scenarios, whether stationary or on the move. All readers support end-to-end or point-to-point encryption, and are EMV certified. With select readers, you can customise splash screens, collect customer input, or run your own POS app directly on the reader. You can also use Tap to Pay alongside – or instead of – card readers, to enable contactless payments directly on compatible iPhone or Android devices.

Device ordering and management

Simplify your hardware logistics

Stripe makes it easy to order, manage, and monitor your readers, wherever they are.

Device ordering

Order readers from the Stripe Dashboard or offer white-labelled ordering with the Terminal Hardware Orders API (preview) – we’ll handle the warehousing and delivery.

Device management

Easily manage your readers across locations. Register and configure your devices, and monitor their status in real time for quick troubleshooting.

Case studies

Dripos unifies commerce with Stripe Terminal and Stripe Reader S700

Dripos powers more than 100,000 coffee shops and cafés in the United States.

Challenge

Coffee shop owners who use Dripos, such as Revolución, want to offer their customers seamless experiences – whether they’re ordering at the counter, at a table, or at a pop-up event.

Solution

Stripe Reader S700 allowed users to run a custom POS app such as Dripos directly on the device.

Impact

“Now we can put all the things we have – including our loyalty program, receipts, and tipping – onto the reader. It’s basically like the register unit, but on the go,” said Avery Durrant, co-founder and co-CEO at Dripos.

SQUIRE uses Tap to Pay so barbers can start accepting in-person payments in minutes

SQUIRE is an all-in-one, easy-to-use business-management system for barbers.

Challenge

With transactions continuing to move away from cash toward cards and mobile payments, SQUIRE needed a way to provide alternative payment methods.

Solution

SQUIRE added Tap to Pay and the Stripe Terminal SDK to let barbers accept contactless in-person payments, using only a compatible smartphone or tablet.

Impact

With Tap to Pay, barbers can process payments right on the devices they’re already using to run their businesses.

Dines generates 150% jump in revenue per venue, with Stripe Terminal

Challenge

Dines realised that businesses using third-party systems for in-person ordering were experiencing a host of challenges, such as longer wait times for orders and more customer complaints.

Solution

Dines believed the best way to streamline operations and reduce the workload for operators was to process all payments through one service.

Impact

After introducing Stripe Terminal, Dines has seen a 150% increase in revenue per venue and is on track to achieve 4x year-over-year growth in transaction volumes.

atVenu streamlines merchandise sales at live events with Stripe

atVenu is one of the world’s leading live-events platforms.

Challenge

atVenu found that its existing hardware did not work well in the kinds of temporary and transient environments its vendors often found themselves in.

Solution

Stripe Terminal offered a reliable way to make in-person card and contactless payments as smooth as possible in venues that may not have a roof, let alone a stable internet connection.

Impact

“The API can definitely handle the scope of our business,” said Derek Ball, atVenu’s co-founder and CEO. “In one night we’ll process over $10 million of volume through Stripe, without a hiccup.”
