Design patterns for Stripe Apps
Follow our recommended design patterns to expedite your Stripe app review.
Patterns function as the foundation of your app design. Think of them as a combination of components – for example, combining the Spinner and other individual components to create a Loading screen. As we establish new patterns, we’ll add guidance to this section. Follow these patterns as you design your app so that it functions in a consistent, clear, and scalable manner.
