The lessons here are derived from building Stripe's payments API. Stripe is a simple, developer-friendly way to accept payments online. We believe that enabling transactions on the web is a problem rooted in code, not finance, and we want to help put more websites in business. Complexity and opacity have traditionally been hallmarks of online payment processing. We want to fix that.
