What is Stripe?

The dominant global payment gateway — handles every major currency and serves as the default for international creators.

The longer answer.

Stripe is the dominant payment gateway outside India. It handles every major currency (USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, CAD, JPY, etc.), supports recurring subscriptions, and offers strong international card acceptance. Fees: typically 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction. Kavieo integrates Stripe alongside Razorpay so creators can serve a global audience without juggling two checkout flows.
