Your store takes payments. Your Stripe integration doesn't talk to your stack.
We build your Stripe API integration from checkout to reconciliation, webhooks to subscriptions. Your operations team stops chasing payment discrepancies. Your finance team stops exporting CSVs.
What breaks when Stripe is bolted on, not built in
Most stores connect Stripe through a plugin and call it done. Six months later, finance reconciles manually. Refunds arrive with no context. Subscriptions fail without a sound.
Finance exports CSVs from Stripe every Monday, cross-references against your OMS, and hunts missing transactions. Six hours a week, every week.
A webhook fires, your endpoint times out, the event is lost. Orders get stuck in "pending payment" for days before anyone notices.
Stripe cancels a subscription. Your platform still shows active. The customer gets product they haven't paid for. You find out from a chargeback.
Refunds processed in Stripe don't map back to original order records. Customer service can't confirm what was refunded without opening two systems.
A chargeback arrives. You have no automated alert, no evidence package, no system: just an email and a deadline you almost miss.
You sell in 4 currencies. Your reporting rolls everything into one. Finance has no idea if GBP or EUR is margin-positive. Pricing decisions made on bad data.
Every Stripe payout maps to order records automatically. Finance reviews a clean report, not a spreadsheet battle. 6 hours saved per week, starting day one.
Every Stripe event is captured, processed once, and verified. Retry queues and dead-letter logging catch what breaks. No silent failures.
Stripe subscription events trigger immediate platform state changes. Cancellation, upgrade, pause: your system reflects reality within seconds.
Refunds write back to original order records with timestamp, amount, and reason. Customer service answers refund questions in one screen.
Chargebacks trigger automated evidence collection: order data, shipping records, communication logs, packaged and submitted before you're even notified by email.
Multi-currency payouts segmented by market. Finance sees margin, volume, and conversion rate per currency, not one number that hides everything.
Eight layers. Every one is a deliverable your team owns.
Your Stripe integration is not one connection. It is eight distinct layers: checkout, webhooks, order sync, disputes, subscriptions, reconciliation, multi-currency, and monitoring. Explore each one below.
stripe.paymentIntents.create({
amount: cart.total,
currency: 'usd',
idempotencyKey: orderId,
metadata: { orderId, storeId }
})| Stripe event | Platform action |
|---|---|
| customer.subscription.created | Activate plan |
| invoice.payment_failed | Grace period (72 hours) |
| customer.subscription.deleted | Revoke access |
| customer.subscription.updated | Upgrade/downgrade |
Stripe integration services your operations team can read, test, and own
We build your Stripe integration as a documented, versioned, testable API layer. Not a script nobody understands three months from now.
Every Stripe payment capability your store needs. No guesswork.
Stripe Checkout + Elements
Custom-branded checkout that matches your design system. PCI compliance stays on Stripe's side, not yours. Hosted fields or embedded Elements, never a generic form.
Webhook architecture
Events never fall through the cracks, even under peak load. Retry queues, dead-letter alerting, and idempotent processing built into every endpoint.
Stripe Billing
Subscriptions, metered billing, trials, and proration. Your platform's entitlement system matches Stripe in real time. Cancels, upgrades, and pauses show instantly.
Multi-currency + Stripe Tax
Dynamic currency display and local payment methods on every checkout. Stripe Tax applied per transaction, correct for every jurisdiction, ready for audit from day one.
Radar fraud rules + reporting
Custom Radar rule sets tuned to your order profile. Stripe Sigma scheduled reports delivered to your data warehouse. Every payout reconciled, every currency broken out, every dispute tracked.
Proof from a Stripe ecommerce integration that had to work perfectly
CollectPCS: Premium Collectibles Platform
CollectPCS serves both business-to-business and business-to-consumer buyers with high-value, limited-edition products. They needed payment infrastructure that could handle pre-orders, partial payments, and multiple fulfillment models, without a single order getting stuck or miscounted.
Their old setup couldn't handle pre-orders with partial captures. International fulfillment from manufacturers added more complexity. Flexible plan billing pushed it past the breaking point. Manual reconciliation ate 8 hours of operations time every week, and still missed transactions.
Flexible payment automation, controlled inventory release, and full payout reconciliation, all shipped and running. The operations team trusts the numbers again. Finance reconciles in minutes, not days.
- Custom partial-capture payment intent flow for pre-orders
- Multi-model fulfillment with real-time shipping and tax logic
- Automated payout-to-order reconciliation for finance
- Admin-controlled inventory release tied to payment capture
What separates a Stripe integration you own from one you depend on forever
| Capability | Typical integration partner | Redefine |
|---|---|---|
| Webhook resilience (retry + dead-letter) | ||
| Automated payout reconciliation | ||
| Chargeback automation and evidence packaging | ||
| Stripe Radar custom rule configuration | Optional add-on | |
| Multi-currency per-market reporting | ||
| Full test suite shipped with handoff | Varies | |
| You own the code, zero vendor lock-in |
Real questions teams ask before starting
Plugins connect your cart to Stripe for checkout. They don't build reconciliation, webhook resilience, subscription sync, or dispute handling. Every store outgrows a plugin once payments get complex. Think partial captures, multi-currency, refund tracing, subscription lifecycle events. Redefine builds the layer between Stripe and your entire stack, not just checkout.
Most Stripe integrations go live within 8 to 21 days depending on scope. A focused checkout plus webhook layer takes 8 days. Adding subscription lifecycle, multi-currency, and reconciliation layer takes 14 to 21 days. You get a day-by-day sprint plan before any code is written.
Yes. Redefine starts with an audit of your current Stripe setup: endpoints, webhook handling, reconciliation process, and error coverage. We scope only what needs to be fixed or added. You don't rebuild what works; you strengthen what's brittle.
You own everything. All code, all documentation, all test suites transfer to your repository on handoff. There's no Redefine dependency, no subscription, no module you have to license. Your internal team can extend, modify, or hand it to any engineer after delivery.
Non-standard stacks are where Redefine does its best work. Headless storefronts, custom Node.js backends, proprietary order management systems, multi-tenant platforms. The Stripe integration pattern adapts to your architecture, not the other way around. The scoping call maps your stack first.
