How many paying business customers does stripe have in the US?
INTRODUCTION
Hello! Thanks for your question about how many paying business customers Stripe has in the US. The short version is that after searching extensively through corporate websites, industry reports/databases, and trusted media sites, I’ve determined that the information you requested is not publicly available because hard data related to the number of paying business customers has not been released publicly. However, I was able to learn the number of websites that use Stripes and what percentage of market share that is. Some information about mobile apps that use Stripe was available, but nothing with hard data. I am able to give an estimate but not a specific number as the information needed was not available. I am confident that this estimated number does not include consumers who use stripe or include purchases from businesses because the numbers Datanylze provided are specifically websites that accept stripe payments and are, therefore, not merchants or businesses. Below you will find a deep dive of my research and methodology.
METHODOLOGY
After searching exhaustively, I have not been able to find statistics that state how many paying business customers Stripe has in the US. First, I looked through Stripe's website for annual reports, press releases or any other resources they may have that would include some of the information required. From there, I moved onto industry reports/databases. While I was able to find plenty of general information about Stripe, including the number of websites that currently use it and companies that it has acquired, I was not able to find any facts about mobile app companies or other businesses that may be using Stripe. It appears that Stripe has not made a full list of its paying business customers available. Finally, I looked through trusted media sites. I found information about how successful Stripe is and how much is has grown and continues to grow in valuation and prominence. I also found the names of few mobile apps that are clients of Stripe but again, found nothing that would give the number you are looking for.
HELPFUL FINDINGS
While I could not find a direct answer to your question, I was able to gather some information about this topic, which I think will be helpful for your project.
WEBSITES
Currently, Stripe is used by 24,968 websites. Its market share in the Payments category in the US is 6.53 percent. It is the number two technology company, behind PayPal.
ONLINE TRANSACTIONS SEGMENT
Stripe currently controls 14% of the online transactions segment in the US. While this information does not give a number, it does give some idea of the scope of Stripe's paid business customer base.
MOBILE APPS
I searched extensively for the number of mobile apps that are among Stripe's paid business customers. I was able to find a few that were mentioned by name but was unable to find solid numbers. Lyft is one mobile app that has been named as a paying business customer of Stripe. Facebook and Doordash which offer both websites and mobile apps are also paid business customers of Stripe.
POSSIBLE CONTINUED RESEARCH
In understanding what types of information are and are not publicly available about Stripe's paying business customers, I’ve suggested another route you may be interested in researching:
Given that I found numerous sources that contained information about Stripe's past, current and projected market share, you may want to consider exploring that and what strategies the company is taking to increase its market share in the US.
CONCLUSION
To wrap it up, after searching extensively through company websites, industry reports/databases, and trusted media sites, a direct answer to your question is not publicly available because the data and statistics needed to answer the question are not publicly available. However, I learned that 24,968 websites are using Stripe. I am confident that this estimated number does not include consumers who use stripe or include purchases from businesses because the numbers datanylze provided are specifically websites that accept stripe payments and are, therefore, not merchants or businesses. If you’d like to continue research on any of the other topics I’ve outlined above, just let us know!
