Case studies

Ford transforms its ecommerce experience with Stripe

Ford Motor Company and Stripe have partnered to scale the manufacturer’s e-commerce capabilities faster and to deliver an always-on experience for Ford and Lincoln customers.

Challenge

Ford CEO Jim Farley made it clear when he took over the top spot at the vehicle manufacturer in October 2020 that one of his biggest focuses would be on connected vehicle services.

Solution

Ford will use Connect to facilitate a customer’s payments to a correct local Ford or Lincoln dealer. As Ford develops e-commerce offerings across the product and service spectrum, Stripe’s platform and services are expected to drive new efficiency into processing of e-commerce payments, such as vehicle ordering, reservations and digital and charging services.

Products

Stripe has developed strong expertise in user experiences that will help provide easy, intuitive and secure payment processes for our customers.

WooCommerce partners with Stripe to launch in 17 new countries in 3 months

As one of the most popular e-commerce platforms in the world, WooCommerce enables WordPress businesses to sell and manage orders directly from their websites.

Challenge

WooCommerce wanted to help its merchants adapt quickly to changing consumer habits through its own integrated payments solutions.

Solution

WooCommerce decided to launch a brand new platform, WooCommerce Payments, by integrating several different Stripe products to enable merchants to do everything from taking contactless payments and accessing funds in real time to tapping into business funding to keep operations afloat. In just three months and with a team of fewer than 20 people, the company partnered with Stripe to launch WooCommerce Payments in 17 countries – from Canada to New Zealand and across Europe.

Products

Building on Stripe, we started with payments, billing and subscriptions. But we’re quickly adding Stripe Terminal for in-person payments, and planning to offer a full suite of fintech services to help our merchants grow their business, including access to capital and more – not only in the US, but also Europe and other regions where WooCommerce thrives. We chose Stripe because its extensive options across payments and financial services are what enable us to do this, and do it rapidly without compromise.

GitHub works with Stripe to add a donations programme

Microsoft-owned GitHub is a code management platform that was looking for a partner to help it launch Github Sponsors to support open-source developers.

Challenge

GitHub wanted to create a compliant and seamless onboarding experience that is accessible to the developer community in various languages around the world. Once onboarded, anyone on the Sponsors platform can sponsor a developer contributing to an open source project – and GitHub can match it up to $5000 per developer.

Solution

GitHub used Stripe to onboard developers in 34 countries to accept donations. In two months, Stripe helped GitHub reduce a manual 9-step, week-long process to a fully localised, 2-minute onboarding experience. It also expanded support to more countries and currencies without additional work.

Products

We are extremely happy customers, and Stripe makes it possible for us to build new products like GitHub Sponsors that would be nearly unthinkable without them.

Nat Friedman, CEO

Nasdaq chooses Stripe for robust security and scalability

Nasdaq is a global technology company democratising access to the capital markets. It owns and operates several stock exchanges across the US and Europe. Nasdaq chose Stripe for robust security and scalability.

Challenge

After making several acquisitions, Nasdaq knew it needed a payments provider that would allow it to work securely across its subsidiaries and assist in improving its recurring billing and financial reporting.

Solution

Stripe Payments allowed Nasdaq to provide simple and secure card payment options, while Stripe Billing gave the Nasdaq team a flexible way to bill their customers on a recurring basis, including accepting alternative payment methods. Nasdaq will continue to grow its software solutions with the trust of Stripe’s leading security infrastructure.

Products

Scalability and security are two key areas of focus in operating all of our solutions. That is why we chose Stripe. We saw Stripe as the most secure provider.

Adena T. Friedman, President and CEO
