Case Study: KeyMe achieves 2x year-over-year growth and zero payments engineering overhead with Stripe

KeyMe disrupts the locksmith industry with Stripe

KeyMe is a NYC startup that offers kiosk-based locksmith services and key copying using 3D imaging and predictive algorithms at thousands of retail locations. The company needed a fast, reliable checkout that works in emergencies and for high-frequency “super users” (Airbnb hosts, contractors) while keeping payments and fraud management lean for a small engineering team.

By adopting Stripe Payments and Radar, KeyMe delivered a seamless checkout with saved cards, automatic card updates, and built-in fraud protection through an easy-to-integrate API and Dashboard. The integration required no dedicated payments engineers, gave operations real-time business data, and helped drive 2x year-over-year growth for the past two years, with plans to double again.
