How Payment Detection Works
Our payment provider detection analyzes multiple technical signals to identify payment
infrastructure. We examine JavaScript libraries, checkout flow patterns, API calls,
and integration markers to accurately classify which payment solutions power each website.
This comprehensive approach catches both standard implementations and custom integrations.
Detection extends beyond primary payment processors to include buy-now-pay-later services
like Klarna, Affirm, and Afterpay. We identify cryptocurrency payment options, digital
wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay, and regional payment methods. This granular view
helps you understand the complete payment landscape of any e-commerce operation.
Payment data becomes powerful when combined with other classification dimensions. Filter
Stripe merchants by
traffic tier to find high-volume stores.
Cross-reference PayPal sites with
e-commerce platforms to
understand adoption patterns. Our API enables these
multi-dimensional queries at scale.
Payment Trends and Market Intelligence
The payments landscape evolves rapidly with new providers, methods, and consumer preferences
emerging constantly. Our continuous monitoring captures these shifts, revealing which payment
solutions gain traction in specific industry verticals
and market segments. Understanding payment trends helps predict where commerce is heading
and identify early adoption opportunities.
Buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) adoption has accelerated dramatically, particularly among
younger demographics and specific product categories. Our data shows which merchant
categories embrace BNPL solutions and how this correlates with
target audience and
traffic patterns. This intelligence
helps both BNPL providers and merchants optimize their payment strategies.
For investors and analysts, payment provider adoption serves as a leading indicator of
commerce trends. Shifts in Stripe
versus PayPal market share reveal
merchant preferences and technology adoption patterns. Combined with
funding data, payment intelligence
helps evaluate the competitive positioning of commerce infrastructure companies.
