Trusted infrastructure
Forte is built on Stripe Connect — the same rails that power Shopify, Lyft, Substack, and DoorDash.
What you get
Most processors give you a checkout button and a 1099. Forte gives you the whole back office — invoicing, subscriptions, virtual terminal, payouts, insights — with no monthly fees.
Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, ACH, Klarna, Affirm. Every payment method shows up on checkout automatically — no extra work.
Reusable items, discount codes, subscriptions, hosted payment pages. Buyers pay by card or bank — you get notified the second it clears.
Standard payouts in 1–2 business days, free. Instant payouts to your debit card in under 30 minutes for 1%. Nights, weekends, holidays.
Revenue trends, refund rate, dispute rate, peak hours. Spot a problem in the dispute column before Stripe pauses your account.
PCI SAQ-A out of the box — cards never touch our servers. Stripe Connect handles KYB, identity, and tax reporting. You stay focused on selling.
Built for developers
Drop in our embed script for instant checkout, or hit the REST API with a Bearer token if you want full control. Every event fans out to your webhook with HMAC signing.
