“Stripe, a financial infrastructure platform for businesses, today released Stripe Apps and the Stripe App Marketplace. As an ecosystem of popular third-party tools, Stripe Apps addresses a fundamental challenge for growing businesses and meets a top request from Stripe users. To compete in the internet economy, businesses utilize a wide variety of software tools. Even if they’re using Stripe to process payments, they might use separate tools to send a refund confirmation and close out the associated customer support ticket. While these tools are helpful, they introduce the friction of manual coordination and the potential for human error as users switch between them. Stripe Apps unites many of the tools that businesses rely on, making it easier to complete common tasks in one place.”
