What your customers can pay with
Whatever is already on their phone. Stripe shows each customer only the ones they can actually use, so nobody gives up halfway through paying.
- CardsVisa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, JCB, Diners Club and UnionPay.
- Apple PayFace ID and it is done — no card number typed at all.
- LinkOne tap for anyone who has paid at another Stripe store before.
- Cash App PayConfirm it in Cash App. Common with younger customers.
- Amazon PayUses the card already saved in their Amazon account.
- KlarnaSplits a bigger order into instalments. You are still paid in full.
- AffirmThe same idea on a large basket — a catering run, a big group order.
The first five cost you the same 2.9% + 30¢ used in the numbers above. Klarna and Affirm cost Stripe more to run, so they carry a higher rate and are not in those numbers — they are worth keeping for catering, and worth switching off if you would rather not offer them at all.
Card numbers go straight to Stripe. They never touch your iPad, your printer or your staff, so none of this is yours to keep safe.
