Link by Stripe payment service

Link is a digital wallet and accelerated checkout solution designed to simplify the online payment experience. Originally created as a feature to securely store credit card and shipping information, it allows consumers to pay in one click across millions of businesses. The service focuses on speed and security, encrypting user data to ensure safe transactions across the web.

The service was developed by Stripe, a prominent Irish-American financial services and software as a service company. Stripe operates a global infrastructure, meaning the digital service is maintained through servers and engineering teams located in various international hubs, primarily within the United States and Europe. As a software product, it does not have a single physical manufacturing site but is distributed globally via digital networks.

Since its inception, Link has remained under the ownership of Stripe, Inc. Stripe is widely recognized as one of the most valuable private fintech companies in the world, headquartered jointly in San Francisco, California, and Dublin, Ireland. It continues to lead the market by providing the backbone for internet commerce and recurring subscription billing for thousands of global brands.
