API integration · Stripe
Stripe built around your business, not a plugin's limits. Custom checkouts, subscriptions with trials and upgrades, payments that unlock access automatically, and marketplaces that split money between sellers. Quoted up front, and you own the code.

Stripe covers one-off payments, subscriptions, invoicing, marketplace payouts through Connect, fraud checks through Radar, and webhooks for every payment event. A custom integration uses the parts your business needs and connects them to your own system.
Payment plugins handle a standard checkout. They can't follow your subscription rules, split payments between parties or start your own workflows when a payment succeeds or fails. When your business model is specific, the payments need to match it. Read Stripe plugin vs custom integration to see where the line falls, and how Stripe webhooks work.
Not included: your Stripe account and verification, Stripe's transaction fees, and changes to your platform outside the integration.
Payment is 50% to start and the balance on completion. For what drives the price, read what a Stripe integration costs. Comparing providers? See GoCardless vs Stripe and PayPal vs Stripe.
The Stripe webhook demo lets you trigger real Stripe events, such as a successful payment, a declined card or a refund, and watch them being handled.
I've built Stripe into my own platforms, not just client projects. TradingPit uses Stripe billing with subscription tiers enforced through webhooks. The Repair Works takes card payments for repair bookings, with prices checked on the server against the live catalogue. ReGraded, my trade-in platform, runs its subscription billing on Stripe, with upgrades, downgrades, cancellations and the customer portal.
Send a short written spec by WhatsApp, text, email or the form: how you take payment, what should happen after it, and your platform. I'll reply within 24 hours with a quote.
Yes, a verified Stripe account in your business's name. For Connect, your platform account and your sellers' accounts are set up separately, and I'll advise on the structure.
It lets a platform take payments on behalf of other businesses and split the money between them and you. Marketplaces and booking platforms use it.
Yes. Custom billing cycles, usage-based pricing, trials and proration are all possible. They just need building properly.
Stripe's Smart Retries try again automatically. The integration adds notifications, a grace period and suspending access to suit your business.
One-time payments take 1–2 weeks, subscriptions 2–3 weeks and Connect marketplaces 3–4 weeks, starting once your Stripe account is verified and the deposit is paid.
