Payments overview
Learn how Stash handles payments globally
Overview
Payments are a critical part of any global digital business — and often one of the most complex systems to manage at scale. Different countries, currencies, local payment preferences, tax requirements, and compliance rules can quickly turn payments into a significant operational burden.
How Stash can help
Stash was built to take that complexity off your plate. Instead of working with multiple payment providers and regional setups, partners can rely on a single payments foundation that supports international growth while keeping the experience consistent for players.
Payment Methods Players Trust
With Stash, players can pay using methods they recognize and trust, and partners don’t have to manage the financial and compliance overhead that usually comes with operating globally. Payments, reporting, and payouts are handled through one unified flow, making it easier to understand how money moves and what to expect at each step.
Scaled for growth
Stash is designed for studios that want to scale without turning payments into a constant operational challenge. The goal is simple: remove friction at checkout, reduce uncertainty behind the scenes, and give partners a payments setup that works as they grow.
Why payments matter ?
Payments are not just about collecting revenue. They affect how players experience your product and how smoothly your business operates day to day
- Global reach without added complexity: Entering new markets usually means adapting to local expectations around currencies and payment methods. A global payments setup helps you do that without rebuilding your flow for every region.
- Conversion at checkout: When players see familiar payment options and a smooth checkout experience, they are more likely to complete a purchase.
- Operational clarity: Fragmented payment setups make reconciliation and payouts harder to track. Centralizing payments helps create clearer reporting and more predictable financial processes.
Our Philosophy
Stash approaches payments with a few guiding principles that shape how the system is built and operated:
-
Transparency: Partners should be able to understand how payments are processed and how reporting reflects real transactions.
-
Predictability: Clear flows and consistent payout expectations help teams plan with confidence.
-
Global reach: Payments should support international growth, not slow it down.
-
Strong authorization performance: Reducing unnecessary declines and improving approval rates is key to a healthy checkout experience.
The following sections explore each of these areas in more detail — from where Stash operates and which payment methods are supported, to how authorization rates are optimized and how partners track, reconcile, and receive payouts. Taken together, they show how Stash turns payments into a scalable, reliable part of doing business globally.
