The strategic importance of billing credits is only growing. That’s why we recently incorporated a new credits feature into Stripe Billing, enabling businesses to offer their customers both promotional and paid credits with flexibility and control.
We created a usage-based billing system with an accurate and highly available revenue ledger; real-time events processing with ultrahigh throughput billing; and the ability to support complex pricing models and accurate billing, even in the face of delayed events. Doing so required reimagining how to build a highly scaled, highly reliable event streaming platform.
With our slice monitoring program, we use machine learning to spot small pockets of performance declines amid the sea of global payments.
While Radar’s models predict the likelihood of fraud or card testing, we needed a new way to recognize verification attacks that were causing higher-than-average authorization rates. Learn about our three-layered approach to combating this new fraud trend.

To compete with other payment methods for consumer preference, real-time payments are expanding their “bundle” of services to include subscriptions, credit, and in-person transactions.
Card testing is one of the most significant fraud threats to Stripe, its users, and the broader financial ecosystem. Stripe’s machine learning–based approach—based on rapid detection and retraining—has led to successful card testing attacks on Stripe decreasing by 80% over the last two years.
Payment methods are tightly woven into the economic and social fabric of a country. In most countries, the dominant means of exchange has rarely pivoted—and yet in many places around the world, it’s changing right now with real-time payments. Here’s why.

Global businesses have told us they’re interested in replicating the fraud prevention success seen in Europe by requesting 3DS. Last year, we had a front-row seat as several Stripe users chose to do exactly that, but the results in the US were very different from what we have seen in Europe.
Buy now, pay later (BNPL) methods, little-known less than a decade ago, now account for more than $300 billion in transactions worldwide. However, they tend to be priced at a premium, so our users wanted to know whether the financial benefits would offset the added costs. With that in mind, we ran an experiment to help Stripe businesses assess when and how to offer BNPLs.
If the first wave of digitization in broadcast media was about the move into streaming, this second one is about open-ended optimizations of the streaming experience. Top media companies are partnering with Stripe to add new content bundles, change pricing models, and personalize payments.
