Kriya paymentsPrivate preview

Kriya provides flexible payment terms for businesses to buy what they need now and pay for it later.

Payment flow

Below is a demonstration of the Kriya payment flow from your checkout page:

Get started

You don’t have to integrate Kriya and other payment methods individually. If you use our front-end products, Stripe automatically determines the most relevant payment methods to display. Go to the Stripe Dashboard and enable Kriya. To get started with one of our hosted UIs, follow a quickstart:

• Checkout: Our pre-built, hosted checkout page.
• Elements: Our drop-in UI components.

Other payment products

The following Stripe products also let you add Kriya from the Dashboard:

• Payment Links

If your integration requires manually listing payment methods, learn how to manually configure Kriya payments.

Prohibited and restricted business categories

In addition to the categories of goods or services sold and businesses restricted from using Stripe overall, the following categories are prohibited from using Kriya:

• Money service businesses
• Embassies or consulates
• Cruise lines, airlines, and car rentals
• Hotels, camping sites, timeshares, and recreational camping sites
• Virtual currencies
• Conducting gambling and lottery activities
• Advertising services
• Other categories at the discretion of Kriya

Refunds

Kriya supports full and partial refunds. The refund period is up to 180 days after the purchase. Refunds for Kriya payments are asynchronous and take up to 5 minutes to complete. We’ll notify you of the final refund status using the charge.refund.updated webhook event. When a refund succeeds, the Refund object’s status transitions to succeeded. In the rare instance that a refund fails, the Refund object’s status transitions to failed and we return the amount to your Stripe balance. You then need to arrange an alternative way of providing your customer with a refund.

Supported currencies

You can create Kriya payments in the currencies that map to your country. The default local currency for Kriya is gbp and customers also see their purchase amount in gbp.
