Where Stripe fits
Consider it when a website or application needs an integrated checkout workflow.
Check before you choose
Confirm business eligibility, supported currencies and account verification requirements in your region.
Find the right edition
Start with the destination for your device or the publisher's website. Use the current requirements and terms there to confirm the edition you need.
Compare the workflow
Begin with operational ownership. A hosted platform manages infrastructure; self-managed store software leaves updates and hosting with you. Payment eligibility and transaction fees need their own review.
