About Stripe
The two Irish developers, John and Patrick Collison, from Limerick started Stripe in2010. They wanted to provide an easier way for developers to implement payment gateway system for apps and websites. Later on, Stripe partnered with Visa and other credit card companies and it is now one of the most secure, payment systems in the world, with a strong focus on fraud prevention. It was also one of the first payment gateways besides PayPal that allows for recurring charges on customer credit cards. The combination of ease of integration and high security standards make it the most popular payment gateway system. Are you ready to get started?
