Stripe is the default way startups take money online, and the part of an MVP where edge cases actually matter: failed payments, refunds, webhooks, taxes. We build Stripe integrations that survive real customers, not just demo checkouts.
From a simple checkout to full subscription businesses.
The checkout is 20% of the work. The other 80% is webhook reliability, dunning for failed payments, refunds, disputes, and keeping your database in sync with Stripe's truth — that's what we actually scope for.
If willingness-to-pay is the assumption you're testing, billing belongs in v1. If activation is the open question, a waitlist plus manual invoicing can defer the complexity — we'll tell you which.
Our process
We clarify the buyer, the core workflow, and platform requirements before any design or code begins.
High-fidelity screens and flows for the core journey, optimised for the way people actually use the product.
Implementation with clean architecture, tested as we go and wired to a real backend and staging environment.
We deploy, set up analytics, review the first real usage, and plan the next cycle with you.
Technical expertise
Trials, upgrades, cancellations, and proration mapped to product access.
Idempotent handlers and replay protection — billing state that never drifts.
Marketplace and platform payouts with onboarding and compliance flows.
Stripe Tax and invoice configuration for EU VAT and beyond.
Dunning emails and retry logic that quietly saves real revenue.
Practical answers
A subscription flow with portal and webhooks: about a week inside a normal MVP build. Marketplace splits with Connect: longer — scoped explicitly.
Checkout, almost always — it's faster to ship, handles SCA and wallets, and converts well. Custom UIs earn their cost later.
Yes — Stripe Tax configured for EU VAT, with invoices that finance teams and accountants accept.
Yes — upgrades, downgrades, proration, cancellations, and refund flows are part of the integration, not afterthoughts.
Card data never touches your servers — Stripe holds it. Your database stores references and entitlements only.
