Stripe has introduced three new payment methods—Amazon Pay, Revolut Pay, and Link—to enhance checkout experiences for businesses and customers. These options aim to simplify transactions, boost convenience, and accommodate global users. Here's how each payment method works and how you can integrate them into your payment system.

What’s New in Stripe Payments?

Amazon Pay

  • What it is: A wallet payment method allowing customers to check out using the payment details stored in their Amazon account.

  • How it works:

    1. Customers select Amazon Pay at checkout.

    2. They are redirected to Amazon’s website to complete the purchase using their saved payment details.

  • Why it matters: Offers a familiar, trusted payment method for customers already using Amazon, increasing the likelihood of successful transactions.

Revolut Pay

  • What it is: A digital wallet popular in the UK and EU, allowing customers to pay using their stored Revolut balance or cards.

  • Key features:

    • Supports both Revolut and non-Revolut users.

    • Enables non-Revolut customers to save payment details for future use.

  • Why it matters: Ideal for businesses targeting EUR/GBP markets, providing a seamless experience for regional customers.

Link by Stripe

  • What it is: A one-click checkout feature designed for speed and convenience.

  • How it works:

    1. Customers at a Link-enabled business save their card details and shipping address.

    2. For future purchases, this information is auto-filled, enabling one-click checkouts.

  • Why it matters: Reduces checkout friction and increases conversion rates by minimizing time and effort for customers.

How to Enable These Payment Methods

  1. Log into your Stripe account.

  2. Navigate to your payment settings.

By integrating these new payment methods, your business can enhance customer satisfaction, streamline transactions, and adapt to a global market with ease.
