our team

Meet our leadership team.

The people building and running Stellar, from the platform and its security to the merchants who rely on it.

Growing brands lose revenue in the gap between checkout and payment: declined cards, failed renewals, rigid checkouts and processors that can't be swapped without a rebuild.We build the layer that closes that gap. Merchants keep the processors they already use, and Stellar controls how every transaction is routed, retried and billed.

Connects to the processors and platforms you already run

The operating system for
high-volume merchants.

From subscription brands to high-volume D2C, Stellar powers the checkout, retention and customer infrastructure behind top-performing e-commerce.

Merchants first

Every decision starts with one question: does this help our merchants keep more of their revenue?

Speed with precision

We ship fast, but payments leave no room for guesswork. We measure everything we release.

Extreme ownership

We own outcomes, not tickets. If a merchant has a problem, it is our problem until it is solved.

Radical transparency

Merchants see exactly how their payments perform, and we are honest about what is and isn’t working.

Low ego, high standards

The best idea wins, wherever it comes from. We hold each other to a high bar and help each other reach it.

Built to be trusted

Reliability and security are not features we add later. They are the foundation everything else stands on.

See Stellar in action.

A little more clarity.

The essentials, before we talk.

No. Stellar sits between your store and your processors. You keep your existing merchant accounts and processor relationships, and Stellar controls how every payment is routed, retried and billed.

No. You connect the processors you already use and can add more at any time. Spreading volume across several processors means you're never reliant on just one.

Stellar is built for large organizations and established brands, including telecoms, subscription platforms and DTC brands.

Cards, ACH and local payment methods in the US and Europe, with settlement in your currency.

Through a single integration, with API access and a dedicated account manager who supports your team from setup to launch.

Payouts are sent automatically to your bank account on a set schedule, with reporting to reconcile every transaction.

Card details are tokenised, so raw card data never touches your systems.

Timelines depend on your business and volume. Your account manager handles onboarding, integration and launch with you.
