Stripe was founded in 2010 with the mission of making it easier to accept payments over the internet. At the time, taking credit cards meant working with a legacy processor or a middleman broker who would provide you with access to a processor.
Then there were the banks you had to deal with, the credit card companies themselves, and a slew of additional services that were often poorly explained and sold by various third parties. Long story short, accepting credit cards was an incredibly complicated and poorly explained process.
Stripe set out to fix a lot of that by streamlining the process. They added services and features like fraud protection, fixed rates regardless of network, and an application programming interface (API) that allowed app makers to easily incorporate card processing into their apps.
