We’re introducing a new release cadence for API versions—twice-yearly major updates with monthly feature enhancements. This schedule helps you better plan development work—Acacia is the first major version under this new model. See how it works: stripe.com/blog/introducing-…

We built @Stripe Workbench to debug, monitor, and grow your integrations with developer tools like a command-line shell and API object inspector to support your flow state. Shell includes nifty commands—and we hid one. (Fun stuff for replies that find it.) stripe.com/blog/workbench-a-…

I thoroughly recommend watching this talk from Sessions where you'll learn about our approach to API design and the raft of enhancements to our developer experience. Bonus: if you'd like to play the video game version of the talk (!), which I made as a virtual thank you card to the team that worked on this (proud of y’all!), check out thankyou.singleton.io/

Michelle is a video game completionist and Stripe engineer. At Sessions, she introduced four principles of quality API design compared to game mechanics, starting with the fog of war:

I'm excited about Workbench because it brings 'inspect element' capabilities to developers building on the Stripe platform. You can just hit 'inspect' on any API object in the dashboard to pull it up and look at the JSON guts

I've been building Workbench with my team for the last few months am so excited to share it with developers. Workbench turns the black box of API changes into a pane of glass, so you can contextually inspect every layer of Stripe's developer platform with just one keystroke.

"Businesses that switched to Stripe's newest payments integration—the Payment Element—saw a 10.5% increase in revenue on average compared to those that did not." That figure is so large that it sounds like some kind of specious marketing hand-wave, so we elaborated a bit more in this post: stripe.com/newsroom/news/pay…. The finding is actually from a full difference-in-differences analysis run by our in-house data scientists and economists, with n=10,000 sample size.

In 2022, Stripe deployed its core payments APIs 5,978 times (16.4 times a day on average) ... API reliability is now consistently in excess of 99.999%, and, during the peak week of Black Friday and Cyber Monday , exceeded six nines (that is, 99.9999%, — the equivalent of around 600 milliseconds of unavailability. (It takes about 300 milliseconds for a human to blink.)
John's and my 2022 annual letter for Stripe: stripe.com/annual-updates/20…. Topics covered include: • The increase in startup creation rates. • Trends in startup hubs. • The perils of "low-revenue mode".

We tweaked the @stripe algorithm that shows the most relevant payment methods at checkout. The results? Businesses saw an average 3% lift in conversion and 7% increase in transaction value. More $ without lifting a finger. 💸
