Case Study: Refurbed achieves 5x growth in volume sold with Stripe

Refurbed scales 5x in volume sold, supported by Stripe

Refurbed is a refurbished electronics marketplace serving 200,000+ customers with products vetted by a 40-step quality process and backed by a 12-month warranty. With a 4.8/5 customer rating and $45M in gross merchandising volume, rapid growth created a need for a payments partner that could attract and retain top merchants and scale sales across Europe without adding burden to Refurbed’s engineering team.

Refurbed implemented Stripe (Payments, Connect, Radar) to onboard merchants across nine markets, offer expedited payouts to high-performing sellers, and use 3D Secure plus Radar’s ML to detect and block fraud. The result was five‑fold growth in volume sold, three‑fold merchant onboarding, seamless multi-country expansion, and a major reduction in fraud—all while minimizing development effort.
