Amazon isn’t a big company? How about Target? Digital Ocean, Slack? Lyft? https://stripe.com/customers#b2b-platforms https://stripe.com/customers#b2b-platforms

  Depends on the company, but absolutely no way that Stripe processes all of Amazon or Target’s payments. It is a minority of payments, at best. And the WSJ article explains that Lyft is trying to in-house payments away from Stripe to save money. I’m not trying to rag on Stripe by the way, but I have worked in payments at one of these large tech cos that did not work with Stripe. They didn’t start trying to target enterprise customers as their initial target base, and there are simply things that enterprise customers expect more than developer friendliness when it comes to choosing a gateway or processor. That’s all. For some context for why Stripe is not necessarily suited for enterprise see what Finix Payments is doing https://www.finixpayments.com/ https://www.finixpayments.com/ - the value prop resonates much more with enterprise...would say they are basically a developer friendly Anti-Stripe.

    Amazon has direct integrations for payments in the US and most major countries, but farms out payment processing in certain low volume regions to Stripe. Optimize a region's payment processing as volume increases is what Amazon is doing internally...
