Enterprises like Hertz, Shopify, and URBN are increasingly turning to Stripe Terminal to build modern in-person payments experiences. Today we’re excited to announce a host of partnerships that increase interoperability with Stripe, giving more choice and flexibility for integrating Terminal into your existing in-person payment stack and adding innovative checkout experiences. These include a new partnership with FreedomPay, direct integrations with leading point-of-sale (POS) providers, and composable hardware solutions with major Android manufacturers.
Partnering with FreedomPay to better serve large enterprises
Many of our platform users appreciate the flexibility to integrate their own custom POS app with Terminal. But large enterprises often come to Stripe with existing tech stacks and preferences about which POS and hardware systems they want to use. We’ve formed a new partnership with FreedomPay, a leader among independent third-party gateways, to provide additional flexibility for enabling enterprise-grade payments from Stripe. FreedomPay offers best-in-class commerce orchestration, unifying not just POS and payments, but also loyalty, private label cards and gift cards, and customer analytics. Combining Stripe’s financial infrastructure with FreedomPay’s ecosystem means we can bring unified commerce to more large enterprises and help you build and maintain a competitive edge. Through this new partnership, you can:
- Integrate Stripe with your existing in-person payments stack. Now, you can combine Stripe’s payments suite, including payments, online fraud protection and authorization optimizations, with a large number of FreedomPay-supported POS systems, card readers, gift card flows, and more. You can even use Stripe for in-person payment processing alongside other PSPs. And thanks to this ecosystem, you preserve future optionality to modernize, including switching to other POS and hardware whenever you want.
- Unify reporting at the highest levels. Large enterprises often use multiple payment processors or operate across different lines of business. This could be a hotel that manages a restaurant and a retail shop and has a different POS for each, or a parent company with multiple brands. Now it is possible to get consolidated views of your payments data—across channels, business lines, and payment processors.
“We are excited for this partnership to combine FreedomPay’s advanced payment tech functionality with Stripe’s industry-leading payments reliability and uptime. Together we can better serve more large enterprises and power their unified commerce needs.” Chris Kronenthal, president of FreedomPay
