# Stripe

A payments and financial infrastructure platform that lets companies accept payments, offer financial services, and implement custom revenue models.

**Route:** surfaced by the Web Application and Frontend Hosting Platform lane's de-branded queries → dependency to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** Vercel uses Stripe to handle billing and payments for its own platform, and Stripe's infrastructure is built into many of the workflows Vercel enables—Vercel would need to replace Stripe or stop taking payments without it.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> Financial infrastructure to grow your revenue

> Accept payments, offer financial services, and implement custom revenue models

> 135+ currencies and payment methods supported
