Stripe

From manual tracking to automated.

Three situations we encounter every day.

Why choose a Stripe partner?

  • Your subscriptions are tracked manually

    Someone keeps track of who’s renewing, sends out invoices, and chases down failed payments. That’s work that comes up every month—and something always goes wrong. Recurring payments should run automatically.

  • Your customers outside Europe can’t check out

    You sell outside of Europe, but your checkout only supports what’s standard here. Customers in the United States or the United Kingdom who can’t pay with their own cards won’t place an order.

  • You have to forward payments to third parties

    Your platform or marketplace needs to forward payments to vendors, and you’re currently handling this with bank transfers and a spreadsheet. That approach doesn’t scale and is prone to errors—especially where it’s most costly.

Stripe as the engine behind your payment flows

Most payment providers are built for a single transaction: the customer pays, and that’s it. As soon as a subscription, a marketplace, or payments to third parties come into play, that model breaks down.

Stripe is the engine for that scenario. Recurring payments, payouts to vendors, and card payments worldwide all run through the same integration, with an API you can build on.

You can see exactly what’s happening. Renewals, failed direct debits, and chargebacks are all listed in a single overview, so you no longer need to ask anyone how things are going.

What We Do with Stripe

We start with your payment flow, not the checkout: who pays what, how often, and who receives money from you. With subscriptions and marketplaces, that’s where the complexity lies—not in the checkout screen.

Next, we build the integration and handle what goes wrong: a failed direct debit, an expired card, a chargeback. Automating those scenarios saves you more work than the successful payments do.

Finally, we handle the administrative side and reporting, so your monthly reconciliation doesn’t turn into a detective job.

Three things you’ll notice in our partnership.

Why choose Redkiwi as your Stripe partner?

  • You’ll see for yourself what’s working and what isn’t

    You’ll see which payments go through, which renewals fail, and why. Every month, we’ll review this together, and you’ll decide what changes to make. You stay in control of the business strategy; we’ll make sure the technology supports it.

  • Independent advice

    If you primarily sell in the Netherlands with one-time orders, a Dutch provider with iDEAL makes more sense and is often cheaper. Stripe is the better choice for subscriptions, marketplaces, and sales outside Europe.

  • Platform and payment under one roof

    We build the platform where payments are processed, so a subscription in your records matches what the customer sees. You’ll work with a dedicated specialist who understands your business model.

Frequently Asked Questions About Payments

01/ What does an agency do when connecting to a payment provider?
We build the integration with your platform and set up the checkout: which payment methods to display, in what order, and what users see if a payment fails. The provider supplies the technology; we ensure it’s integrated into the right part of your ordering process.
02/ Can I switch to a different payment provider?
Yes. Redkiwi partners with multiple payment providers and earns nothing from your choice. If you primarily sell internationally, another provider might be a better fit for your market. We start with your orders, not with a contract.
03/ Do the payment records align with my accounting?
Yes. Payments, chargebacks, and disbursements come in at different times, and without a proper integration, it takes days to reconcile them. We ensure that the statuses are accurate and that the reports align with your accounting records.
04/ What payment methods should I offer?
That depends on your market and your target audience. In the Netherlands, virtually everyone expects iDEAL, while in Belgium and Germany, payment habits are different. We’ll review your orders and your expansion plans and use that information to determine which payment methods to offer and in what order.
