Stripe now supports nearly 800,000 businesses and solopreneurs in France, including half of the CAC 40, two thirds of French unicorns and a growing cohort of AI-native companies including Mistral, Hugging Face and Nabla, alongside enterprises like La Redoute , Accor and TF1 . In 2025, one in three customers of French businesses on Stripe came from outside France. These businesses now generate 22% of their revenue from international markets, up from 16% in 2020, reflecting the global reach Stripe unlocks. Today's announcements go further, giving French businesses new ways to reach international customers, monetise AI products and turn platforms into full financial ecosystems. Commerce in the age of AI France is one of Europe's leading AI hubs, and Stripe is building the payments and billing infrastructure that the latest generation of AI companies, including new customers Gradium and H Company, rely on to grow. AI companies can now meter token consumption and charge customers for their exact usage in real time with Metronome , integrated into Stripe Billing . And Stripe Radar now defends against token theft , with protection against multi-account abuse, free trial fraud and pay-as-you-go abuse. AI-powered growth isn't limited to AI companies. Beginning later this year, French businesses will be able to make their products discoverable and purchasable across AI agents through a single integration with Stripe's Agentic Commerce Suite . Selling globally from France Stripe Managed Payments is now generally available, enabling French businesses to expand into 195 markets without setting up local entities. Stripe acts as the merchant of record, handling local tax, compliance and payment infrastructure. Social discovery app Yubo has recently introduced it to accept payments from overseas. For companies selling across different currencies, Adaptive Pricing automatically localises prices at checkout. Powering France's platform economy More than 1,800 software platforms in France are building on Stripe.
