Overview

Integrate Stripe as the primary payment gateway, replacing the current payment processor with a modern, developer-friendly solution that supports multiple payment methods and provides robust fraud protection.

Business Value

Conversion: Stripe’s optimized checkout flow reduces cart abandonment
Payment Methods: Support for cards, ACH, Apple Pay, Google Pay
Fraud Protection: Stripe Radar provides ML-powered fraud detection
Developer Experience: Well-documented APIs and SDKs accelerate development

Technical Approach

Implement Stripe Elements for PCI-compliant frontend payment collection. Build a backend payment service to handle charges, refunds, and subscription billing. Set up webhook endpoints for async payment event processing (succeeded, failed, disputed).

Risks

PCI compliance scope changes with new payment processor
Existing recurring billing must be carefully migrated
Refund and dispute workflows need to map to existing business processes
