What is Stripe?

In short

The payment processor behind many subscription checkouts, and often the place to cancel.

Stripe is the payment processor that sits behind a lot of subscription checkouts, so a card charge from a dating site may appear under its name rather than the brand's. It also matters at the end of a subscription. Muzz states Auto-renews; cancel in App Store, Play or Stripe, which sets out where a cancellation has to be made. If you started through an app store instead, the store usually handles the renewal and the cancellation, so keep a note of which route you used before the term ends.
