Looking for an online payment platform? Why not choose one that’s convenient for you and environmentally friendly? In the spirit of International Day of Climate Action this past Monday, we wanted to share a unique feature offered through Stripe.
Stripe is not only one of the most convenient and popular online payment platforms but also environmentally friendly, allowing you to contribute to carbon removal. Stripe Climate encourages you to “remove carbon as you grow your business”. This feature allows you to contribute a fraction of your revenue to help emerging carbon removal technologies.
Why?
Climate Works Foundation defines the purpose of carbon dioxide removal as “to take excess CO2 from the atmosphere and store it away long-term, ultimately helping to restore our climate”.
According to Stripe Climate and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), to prevent major effects of climate change, we need to limit global temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius. To do this, everyone needs to pitch in – not just reducing new emissions put into the air, but also removing carbon already in the atmosphere.
Past experiences have proven that early purchasers can help new carbon removal technologies lower the cost curve and up the volume curve. And this is what led to Stripe’s initial purchases and led them to launching Frontier - an advanced market commitment to buy carbon removal.
How does this work?
Quick Enrollment
Contribute a portion of your company’s revenue with an easy enrollment - just a few clicks straight from your dashboard.
Help Fund Carbon Removal

Share with Your Customers
Share your commitment with your customers with a new badge automatically added to your Stripe checkout, and have access to the asset kit, allowing you to use the badge wherever you see fit.
Available Globally
As mentioned previously, in order to scale carbon removal, it will take a global and collaborative teamwork. That being said, Stripe Climate is available to Stripe users globally.
