Stripe launches Partner Program in response to demand from millions-strong user base
Stripe, the technology company that builds economic infrastructure for the internet, has today announced the launch of its first-ever Partner Program to help its global user base—now numbering in the millions—discover new, reliable partners to work with.
Stripe’s ecosystem is already comprised of thousands of informal tech partners, drawn to Stripe by its world-class technology and APIs, and access to its rapidly growing user base. Today, for every $1 Stripe makes, partners can expect to make $1.26. Stripe’s Partner Program formalises this ecosystem, giving partners access to new benefits, such as:
- A new partner portal with educational materials and best practices for building secure, reliable integrations to Stripe.
- A Stripe Verified Partner badge and logo upon undergoing a formal security review and verification process.
- Access to millions of Stripe users through a listing on Stripe’s “Works With Stripe” gallery at stripe.com/workswith.
- Priority support for faster resolution of support issues.
- Exclusive invites to product betas and future roadmaps.
The program, which is the first-of-its-kind in the online payments space, will have two partner types (Platform Partners, Extensions) and two tiers (Stripe Partners, Stripe Verified Partners).
Stripe’s user base has grown rapidly, as half of Stripe-powered businesses double their monthly volume after two years. The Partner Program gives companies of all sizes access to this set of high-growth, tech-forward businesses as trusted partners.
“Partners have integrated with Stripe for years—in fact, more than half of our fastest-growing users take advantage of one or more Stripe extensions,” said Claire Hughes Johnson, Stripe COO. “But as Stripe is increasingly getting pulled up-market, our users have asked for an easier way to discover new platforms and apps, so we’re delighted today to announce our Partner Program.”
