Stripe introduces unified commerce solutions for Australia
Stripe, a financial infrastructure platform for businesses, announced today that its suite of unified commerce solutions is now available in Australia, including Stripe Terminal with Tap to Pay on Android for in-person contactless payments.
In Australia, over three-quarters of consumer payments are made with cards. By centralizing card payment data from all sales channels in one dashboard, Stripe’s unified commerce solutions provide businesses with a comprehensive view of sales trends and customer preferences. Businesses can use this information to improve customer experiences and increase revenue opportunities.
“We are excited to help more Australian businesses unlock the power of unified commerce with a single integration, to drive conversion and create cohesive experiences across siloed channels for businesses,” said Karl Durrance, managing director for Australia and New Zealand at Stripe.
Abacus, FareHarbor, and Splose are among the fast-growing platforms in Australia using Terminal to power unified commerce. Terminal is fully compatible with Stripe’s payments platform and Stripe Connect, allowing platforms to offer their business users the ability to accept in-person and online payments at scale. In addition, Terminal offers businesses various reader options and features, including on-reader tipping and offline mode.
Australian businesses can now increase their reach by accepting in-person contactless payments using just the Stripe Terminal SDK and an Android phone or tablet. This allows platforms to reach markets and verticals that do not traditionally use payments hardware, such as tour guides, stylists, or plumbers.
Stripe supports the most essential credit and debit card payment methods in Australia including Visa, Mastercard, and eftpos, Australia’s local card network.
