Stripe Billing

paid billing and revenue management for SaaS

PaidFeaturedAdded Apr 1, 2018

About

Stripe Billing is the subscription management layer built on top of Stripe's payment infrastructure. It handles recurring billing, usage-based pricing, metered billing, prorations, coupons, free trials, and smart dunning for failed payments. The Revenue Recovery feature uses ML-optimized retry logic to recover up to 41% of failed payments automatically. Stripe Billing integrates with Stripe's full ecosystem including Tax, Invoicing, Revenue Recognition, and Sigma analytics. It's the default choice for SaaS companies already using Stripe.

Origin Story

By Patrick Collison

The Problem

SaaS companies using Stripe for payments still had to build subscription logic, dunning, and billing management separately.

Building It

Stripe Billing launched 2018 as an extension of Stripe Payments. Now powers subscriptions for millions of businesses.

What It Means

Proved that subscription billing should be integrated into payment infrastructure, not a separate tool.

The Dream

Handle every aspect of recurring revenue management so businesses focus on growth, not billing infrastructure.

Pricing

ModelPaid

0.5% of recurring charges on top of standard Stripe payment processing fees (2.9% + 30¢). Invoicing at 0.4% per paid invoice. Usage-based metering included.
