Audit & optimisation
Audit your live Stripe environment - reporting accuracy, fee structure, FX, security and conversion. Backed by a written report and a prioritised roadmap.
Audit & optimisation
Most production Stripe integrations work. The question we get asked is whether they're going to keep working at five times the volume, or under a new product line, or after the engineer who built it leaves. An Integration Review answers that question - with evidence, not opinion.
Each review is a fixed-scope engagement led by a Stripe-certified architect. We work through your codebase, dashboard configuration and operational runbooks against a structured checklist of common production issues, and deliver a written report your engineering and finance teams can act on independently.
What we cover
Reconciliation against your finance system, metadata coverage, dispute and refund pathways - and the question of whether your Stripe data and your accounting agree at month-end.
Effective rate vs what you should be paying, FX optimisations on multi-currency flows, and the savings that often pay for the engagement many times over.
Webhook reliability, idempotency, PCI scope, Connect configuration, secret management, and the quiet failure modes that turn into incidents.
Payment Element adoption, payment-method coverage by region, 3DS tuning, declined-card recovery - uplift available from changes that take an afternoon to deploy.
What you walk away with
Structured as a prioritised roadmap rather than a list of complaints. Each finding comes with severity, recommended action, estimated effort and the rationale behind the call - so engineering can pick it up without re-deciding what matters.
Most reviews uncover one or two architectural risks that would cost more to fix in production than the entire engagement, plus a steady stream of smaller wins that accumulate into meaningful operational improvement.
Sample finding
Recommendation: introduce an event-id idempotency key against your webhook log, drop duplicate deliveries before they reach the subscription state machine.
