Stripe recently received a $95 billion (1) corporate value recognition. Given that the valuation was roughly $36 billion (2) in the previous Series G extension round, corporate value nearly tripled in just 11 months.

How much would it cost for a company to introduce Stripe as a payment service? According to the information on our page, we are receiving 2.9% of the payment based on credit card transactions and an additional $0.30 (5).

In addition, PayPal receives an additional $0.05 for 5% for transactions under $10, while Stripe receives an additional $0.10 for 5% and takes 2 days compared to PayPal, which is settled immediately.
