Volume 8

With over 2 million customers globally, Stripe is a leader in the Payments space. At the same time, their billing solutions are used by more than 300,000 businesses, including industry leaders like OpenAI, Anthropic, and NVIDIA, which rely on the core of the Revenue suite, Stripe Billing. In our customer base, we also see an increasing interest in the use of Stripe Billing across enterprise users.

At this month’s conferences, Stripe unveiled significant updates for their billing customers, including powerful new tools like scripts and workflows, which turned Stripe into a programmable revenue engine.

This year’s theme was “Smarter, Faster, and Global Growth.” From automating fraud detection to flexible billing and expanding global payment reach, Stripe is evolving fast and opening up many new possibilities for subscription businesses.

The event had several notable speakers and many announcements worth noticing for anyone in the SaaS and Subscription business, such as:

• • Stripe co-foundersPatrick & John Collison on scaling the internet economy.
  • Mark Zuckerberg and Sir Jony on the future of commerce. https://stripe.com/sessions/2025/a-conversation-with-mark-zuckerberg
