Architect

Professional Implementation Architects can implement business solutions using Stripe best practices and recommended implementation methodologies. These certified professionals have hands-on experience designing and leading Stripe implementations that meet Stripe’s industry-leading technical standards.

Completing the training courses is not strictly required before you take a certification exam. However, if you don't have prior experience integrating Stripe, training will greatly increase your chances of success. We recommend engaging with the courses in order, as the concepts build on each other.
