Payments & checkout
The buying process is one of the most sensitive parts of a marketplace, so we’ve made every effort to encourage buyers to buy and to protect sellers. By integrating with Stripe, the most reliable payment gateway, we guarantee the security and functionality you expect for payments on your platform.
