Case Study: Sports Warehouse centralizes global payments and boosts authorization rates with Stripe

Sports Warehouse uses Stripe to centralize global payments across 12 brands

Sports Warehouse, the parent company behind 12 specialty sporting-goods brands including Tennis Warehouse, Running Warehouse, and Tackle Warehouse, was struggling with a fragmented payment setup that had grown too complex as it expanded across regions. The company needed a more unified, mobile-friendly way to accept payments and refunds across multiple methods and markets, while also improving accounting visibility and reducing manual fraud-management work.

Sports Warehouse chose Stripe to centralize payments with Stripe Payments, Stripe’s Optimized Checkout Suite, and Stripe Radar. Stripe enabled a single checkout flow across more than 14 payment methods, improved fraud protection, and streamlined refunds, while the Stripe Dashboard unified accounting across markets. The results included a 3.64% uplift in authorization rates, faster rollout of new payment options, and an initial Stripe implementation completed in just four weeks.
