This feature thread tracks Stripe's development of systems for integrating physical access control with digital payment and subscription management. The initial post introduces the concept of using Stripe subscriptions and NFC passes to gate physical entrances. This involves issuing digital passes (e.g., for Apple/Google Wallet) via services like PassNinja, integrating with Stripe Checkout for subscription management, and controlling door access using hardware like a Raspberry Pi with an NFC reader. This capability aims to provide a seamless and automated solution for managing access to physical spaces based on digital subscription status.

Gating entrances with Stripe and NFC passes

8/21/2025

This post details a practical implementation of gating physical entrances using Stripe subscriptions and NFC passes. It outlines the architecture involving Stripe Checkout for subscription payments, PassNinja for issuing digital NFC passes (compatible with Apple/Google Wallet), and a Raspberry Pi with an NFC reader for controlling door access. The technical components include integrating Stripe's payment processing with a system that provisions and validates digital passes, and a hardware component that reads NFC tags to grant or deny access based on the validity of the digital pass.
