Stripe
Stripe builds the most powerful and flexible tools for internet commerce. Whether you’re creating a subscription service, an on-demand marketplace, an e-commerce store, or a crowdfunding platform, Stripe’s meticulously designed APIs and unmatched functionality help you create the best possible product for your users.

BlueSnap and Stripe are like two intergalactic vending machines—one’s a bit more like a galactic convenience store and the other, an ultra-slick, hyper-efficient app vending universe. They both do the same thing, which is to allow you to send money across the cosmos—well, maybe not the cosmos, but across the world, in multiple currencies, for subscriptions and the like. They even manage to dodge space debris with fraud protection and integrate into countless e-commerce platforms. All this, while looking shockingly professional.

Now, BlueSnap, the slightly older of the two, first emerged in the early 2000s, just when people were still wondering if the internet was a fad. It’s like a giant vending machine aimed at the big leagues—those massive enterprises that need a little more bulk in their payment processing. You can expect everything from built-in fraud prevention to support for PayPal, all nestled within a convenient B2B invoicing system. If you’re looking to run a planetary empire of e-commerce, BlueSnap has you covered.

Stripe, on the other hand, is the young upstart, born in 2010, ready to take over the world with its absurdly simple and flexible API. It’s practically designed for developers, startups and businesses that like their tech smooth and unobtrusive. Want to take payments in your mobile app or create an online marketplace? Stripe is your cosmic guide. With its vast tools for managing marketplaces and setting up shop on a global scale, Stripe’s here to make sure your payments just work, effortlessly, as if they’ve always been part of the plan.
