Case studies
Amazon simplifies cross-border payments with Stripe
Amazon set out to build a payments infrastructure that not only delivers an innovative and personalised checkout experience, but also a set of payments services that power Amazon’s portfolio of products and businesses around the world.
Challenge
As Amazon expanded into new geographies, it sought to bring a new level of simplicity to international payments.
Solution
Amazon partnered with Stripe to streamline global payments experiences, particularly as the company looked to launch in new countries quickly. For example, when Amazon expanded into Poland, the team worked with Stripe to optimise the checkout experience with BLIK, a popular local payment method in the region.
