Case Study: FREE NOW achieves on-time multi-country payment launch with Stripe

FREE NOW uses Stripe experts for its marketplace implementation

FREE NOW, the mobility marketplace, needed to optimize payment costs while maintaining high approval rates for complex trip transactions that involved multiple authorizations and multiple payment methods. The company turned to Stripe and its professional services team to help fit the integration into its existing architecture, including cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and local payment methods, while simplifying management of multiple merchant accounts.

Stripe professional services worked with FREE NOW to implement overcapture authorizations, shared wallets with Stripe Connect, single sign-on for managing 30 merchant accounts from one Dashboard, and API-based reporting. As a result, FREE NOW launched on time, met its implementation milestones, and rolled out the solution in 10 countries, with plans to expand further through additional payment methods and business lines.
