- Subscriptions – Handles all the aspects of recurring billing such as creating subscription plans, assigning plans to customers, multiple billing plans, add-ons, coupons, multiple subscriptions per customer and much more. They support around 193 currencies!
- Connect – Stripe Connect is used by marketplaces that need to accept payments and pay out to 3rd parties. Companies like Loyal Assistant (loyalassistant.com link), Lyft, Instacart, Postmates, and Thumbtack are using Connect as their payment infrastructure.
