How safe is stripe for payments?

Stripe is an extremely safe platform for paying and receiving payments. Stripe is a PCI Service Provider Level 1, which is the highest level of certification available in the payments industry. Any payment information sent to Stripe is sent securely and safely.

Why we chose Stripe 

Security is taken very seriously

Taken from Stripe’s website:

Anyone involved with the processing, transmission, or storage of card data must comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). Stripe has been audited by an independent PCI Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) and is certified as a PCI Level 1 Service Provider. This is the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry.

PCI compliance is a shared responsibility and applies to both Stripe and your business. When accepting payments, you must do so in a PCI compliant manner. The simplest way for you to be PCI compliant is to never see (or have access to) card data at all. Stripe makes this easy for you as we can do the heavy lifting to protect your customers’ card information.

In short, this means that we (Buoyancy Works) do not see or store or have access to your credit card data on our servers because it is sent directly to Stripe. When you enter credit card data it is never sent to the Buoyancy server, so we do not handle any sensitive data on our server.

For Buoyancy Works we chose Stripe, because it is easy, safe, stable, and secure, and we are very happy with that decision! If you have any questions of concerns, let us know at [email protected] :)
