Stripe is a payments platform used to accept cards and local payment methods internationally, run subscriptions and pay out to sellers on marketplaces. Developers work with Stripe Checkout or the Payment Element, Billing for subscriptions and invoices, Connect for multi-party payments, and webhooks to keep your system in sync.
For Indian businesses, Stripe is currently invite-only, with priority for businesses selling abroad, so many Indian companies use Stripe through an overseas entity or pair it with Razorpay for domestic payments. You can hire a Stripe developer by the project, by the hour or monthly.
What a Stripe developer does
- Integrate Stripe Checkout or the Payment Element with 3D Secure and local payment methods
- Build subscription billing with Stripe Billing: plans, trials, proration, invoices and the customer portal
- Set up Stripe Connect for marketplaces and platforms, including onboarding and payouts
- Handle webhooks reliably, with signature checks, idempotency and pinned API versions
- Upgrade integrations to newer Stripe API versions and test changes in a sandbox
- Integrate Stripe with Next.js, Laravel, Django, Node.js and mobile apps
What businesses build with it
- SaaS products billing customers in the US, UK and Europe
- Marketplaces and platforms paying out to sellers or service providers
- Online stores selling internationally in multiple currencies
- Usage-based or seat-based subscription billing
- Indian companies with an overseas entity collecting global payments
Why teams choose it
- Clear, versioned APIs and good documentation shorten integration time
- Billing and Connect cover subscriptions and marketplace payouts without a separate system
- Test mode and sandboxes make it practical to test edge cases before going live
- Trade-off: new Indian accounts are invite-only and focused on exports, so domestic UPI-heavy businesses are usually better served by an Indian gateway

Common questions
Can an Indian business use Stripe?
Only by invitation for new accounts: Stripe says businesses in India cannot sign up through its website and must request access, with priority for those expanding internationally. Many Indian companies use Stripe through a US or UK entity, or use Razorpay for domestic payments.
Should we use Stripe Checkout or the Payment Element?
Checkout is a Stripe-hosted or embedded page that is fastest to launch and maintained by Stripe. The Payment Element fits inside your own checkout page for more control over layout, at the cost of more front-end work.
Will Stripe API updates break our integration?
Not unexpectedly. Your requests and webhooks are pinned to an API version, and monthly releases within a named release are backward-compatible. Moving to a new major release is a planned upgrade that we test before switching.
