Overview

Stripe is the world’s most popular payments infrastructure, trusted by millions of businesses to handle online transactions. It powers global commerce with reliability and flexibility.

But while Stripe is powerful, setting it up directly for authentication-driven businesses can be complex. You need custom code to sync user data, manage subscriptions, and integrate payments into your existing product.

The Challenge Without Gately

If you connect Stripe directly to your site, you still have to manage user accounts, link payments to subscriptions, and create a way to track memberships. That’s a lot of custom engineering for most teams.

How Gately + Stripe Works

With Gately, Stripe becomes plug-and-play for memberships. Once connected, Stripe handles secure payments and billing, while Gately manages the memberships, user records, and gated access.

All transactions are automatically synced with your Gately dashboard, so you see the complete picture: who paid, what plan they’re on, and when their subscription renews.

Example Use Cases

• SaaS billing: Charge customers monthly or yearly for access to your app.

• Digital creators: Accept one-time or recurring payments for digital downloads.

• Membership communities: Run tiered subscription levels with automatic billing.

Conclusion

Stripe is the backbone of online payments. Gately adds the membership intelligence on top. Together, they let you monetize your projects securely and at scale.
