Stripe is a modern, developer-first payment service provider (PSP) and one of the
largest payment processors in the world. It's available across dozens of countries
and lets merchants accept cards, digital wallets, bank debits, and
buy-now-pay-later through a single integration, online and in person. The
connection to Stripe uses OAuth, so merchants can be up and running quickly without
handling Stripe API keys directly.
