Key Features

StreamAMG Associate Product Manager Benjamin Pearson takes a deeper dive into what this Stripe integration means for clients, highlighting some of the key features Stripe Checkout will bring.

40+ Payment Methods Globally

By enabling a wide range of options, including credit cards, digital wallets, and localised payment methods. Stripe ensures fans around the world can pay using their preferred method. This flexibility is crucial, as 67% of consumers say they would abandon an online purchase if their preferred payment option isn't available (source: GoCardless).

Simplified Integration

The singular API requires only an API key and customer JWT token to retrieve product and subscription information. Creating a checkout session involves a single API call, which returns a Stripe-hosted URL for payment and redirects customers back to your site on successful payment.

Secure Transactions

Industry-leading encryption, PCI compliance and fraud prevention keeping customer transaction data secure.

Empowering Fan Subscription Control

The Stripe Customer Portal empowers - in the above example - West Ham fans to easily manage their subscriptions. This includes:

• Upgrading, downgrading, or cancelling packages.
• Out of the box tools to reduce churn, e.g. retention coupons can be served (pictured, left) if a user has intention to leave, ultimately protecting vital revenue.
• Technically, this a simple url redirect and greatly reduces integration complexities should this be your route of choice.
• The customer portal also enables the collection of valuable data on cancellation reasons and user behaviour, providing actionable insights into churn patterns.

 

This data feeds into our analytics, empowering our dedicated product team to recommend new monetisation strategies and proactively advise you on optimising your subscription offerings.
