Stripe provides a payment gateway and payment processing for websites and apps. You can integrate its APIs, use Checkout, embed Elements or share Payment Links.
What it does
- Accepts cards and local payment methods supported for your account.
- Provides Billing for subscriptions, Invoicing for invoices and Connect for platforms and marketplaces. These products have their own pricing and conditions.
- Assesses fraud with Stripe Radar, Stripe’s fraud prevention product.
How the gateway works
Checkout provides a prebuilt payment page, either hosted by Stripe or embedded in your site. Account availability depends on where your business is based. Brazil and Mexico are listed as supported countries, but this does not establish availability throughout Latin America or identical local payment options.
Public payment fees
US standard pricing lists 2.9% + US$0.30 per successful domestic card transaction, checked on October 3, 2026. International cards, currency conversion and other products may add fees. Brazil has its own rates and lists Pix as invite-only; US rates do not apply to Brazilian accounts.
Stripe Radar pricing
Radar Lite includes card fraud prevention at no additional charge for businesses on standard payments pricing. The US business plans list subscriptions starting at US$10/month for Radar Standard, US$14 for Plus and US$20 for Pro, with a pay-as-you-go option. Platform and marketplace plans are separate. These starting subscription prices do not establish unlimited usage; check the plan’s allowance and additional charges before choosing.
Strengths
- A choice of hosted checkout, embedded components and payment links.
- Payments, recurring billing and fraud prevention within one ecosystem, with product-specific fees.
Points of attention
- Check your account country and enabled payment methods.
- Include additional products and international payment fees in the cost comparison.
- Radar’s screening costs are separate from the successful-payment processing fee.
