Stripe Checkout
Stripe Checkout is a pre-built, hosted payment page solution provided by Stripe that allows businesses to accept online payments quickly and securely. It handles the entire checkout flow, including payment method selection, customer information collection, and payment processing, with built-in compliance for PCI, GDPR, and other regulations. Developers can integrate it with minimal code to create a seamless payment experience across web and mobile platforms.
Developers should use Stripe Checkout when they need to implement a secure, compliant, and user-friendly payment system without building a custom checkout interface from scratch, such as for e-commerce sites, subscription services, or one-time purchases. It's ideal for startups and small-to-medium businesses that want to reduce development time and maintenance overhead while ensuring reliable payment processing with support for multiple payment methods like credit cards, digital wallets, and local payment options.
