Case studies

Shopify uses Stripe to provide merchants with flexibility and control

Shopify is a leading global commerce company, providing trusted tools to start, grow, market, and manage a retail business of any size. With Shopify Balance, merchants can manage their funds, pay bills and track expenses. This gives them easier access to financial products and greater control over their business.

Challenge

Financial services are an essential part of running a business, but most financial services aren't designed for the needs of independent business owners.

Solution

Shopify Balance offers Shopify merchants a fast, simple and integrated way to manage their funds. Built on Stripe Issuing and Treasury for platforms, Shopify Balance gives users access to key products – all within Shopify.

Products

By building across Stripe's payments and embedded finance infrastructure, we've been able to give Shopify merchants access to critical financial products that meet their needs, like faster access to funds and rewards, helping them further grow their businesses.

Lopay enables its users to keep more of their profits with Stripe Issuing

The UK-based platform Lopay lowers costs and improves cash flow for small businesses with a payment processing app that delivers faster payouts and lower processing fees than the competition. Read more.

Challenge

Many consumers prefer using debit, credit cards or digital wallets. However, business owners face processing fees and typically wait three days for payouts to appear in their bank accounts. These fees and delays strain small business owners, who often lack cash flow to manage overhead.

Solution

Lopay recognised that small businesses needed faster payout options. In just six days, they launched a Lopay Visa rewards card using Stripe Issuing. Payments instantly reflect on the card balance, and users earn rewards points to offset processing fees. With Issuing supporting contactless payments, users can link their cards to digital wallets for Tap to Pay usage.
