Stripe, a financial infrastructure platform, has opened a new flagship office in Toronto. The decision highlights Toronto's status as the fourth-largest tech talent market in North America.

Stripe currently serves Canadian startups like Workleap and Thinkific, as well as large enterprises such as Shopify, Enercare, FreshBooks, and SkipTheDishes.

Stripe Supports Canadian Business Growth

Between 2021 and 2023, Stripe saw more than 50% growth in payment volume from Canadian companies. This comes from thousands of businesses joining Stripe daily, along with established companies using Stripe to introduce new business models and revenue streams.

For example Shopify, a global ecommerce platform, uses Stripe for several services, including Shopify Payments, Shopify Balance, and in-person payments.

Over the past year, Stripe has introduced several products to support Canadian business growth. Stripe Payments enables sales in over 195 countries with 135 currencies and 100 payment methods. Over half of Canadian users sell cross-border.

“After more than a decade in Canada, we’re proud to support many of the country's most successful startups and enterprises, with thousands more Canadian companies getting started with Stripe every day,” said Matthew Burlak Head of Canada GTM at Stripe. “We’re looking forward to growing our team and accelerating the success of even more Canadian businesses.”

Recently, Stripe formed a partnership with Zip, an Australian buy now, pay later provider, as reported by Finance Magnates.

This collaboration aims to provide online retailers with flexible payment options through Stripe's platform, enabling purchases to be divided into four installments over six weeks.This partnership comes after Zip's recent collaborations with Mastercard and Google Pay.
