SERIOUS ABOUT SECURITY

Our website uses STRIPE technology to process all your transactions safely and securely, guaranteed with the highest levels of security.

​

STRIPE’s approach to security is designed to protect both you and your customers. We monitor every transaction, we continuously innovate in fraud prevention, and we protect your data like our business depends on it—because it does. We adhere to industry-leading standards to manage our network, secure our web and client applications, and set policies across our organization.

 

Encryption and monitoring

STRIPE enables trusted transactions between you and your customers by making secure payments as simple as possible. We do this by bringing to our sellers the technologies and monitoring that once were only available to the largest of merchants.

STRIPE encrypts transactions at the point of purchase and  data once it reaches our servers. We track the purchase as it goes through our software. We monitor your money until it’s deposited into your bank account.

In addition, we monitor each transaction to detect suspicious behavior. STRIPE uses our algorithms to spot and freeze malicious or suspicious activity. We’re looking out for you and your customers at each step.

 

Partners in security

STRIPE is the merchant of record for every transaction, which means we’re dedicated to keeping your business safe. We deal with the banks on your behalf and take care of compliance, regulation and processing so you can focus on running your business. We’ll go to bat for you if someone disputes a transaction, and we’ll make sure your money moves quickly and securely into your bank account. STRIPE does the heavy lifting. You just focus on your business.

Layered Security

 

Card-processing systems adhere to the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS).

 

Stopping fraud before it happens

We stop fraud via live monitoring programs that analyze transactions as they’re happening. This is known as risk visualization. The approach helps us detect and investigate suspicious activity before a fraudulent charge takes place. This method is not only a pioneering way for us to protect merchants, but it’s also a better way to build an automated system to detect criminals that will scale as our business grows.

 

STRIPE recognizes the important contributions that our customers and the security research community can make. We encourage responsible reporting of problems with our service. We also recognize that legitimate and well-intentioned researchers are sometimes blamed for the problems they disclose. In order to encourage responsible reporting practices, we promise not to bring legal action against researchers who point out a problem, provided they:

• Share with us the full details of any problem found.

• Do not disclose the issue to others until we’ve had reasonable time to address it.

• Do not intentionally harm the experience or usefulness of the service to others.

• Never attempt to view, modify, or damage data belonging to others.
