All card numbers are encrypted at rest with AES-256. Decryption keys are stored on separate machines. None of Stripe’s internal servers and daemons can obtain plaintext card numbers but can request that cards are sent to a service provider on a static allowlist. Stripe’s infrastructure for storing, decrypting, and transmitting card numbers runs in a separate hosting environment, and doesn’t share any credentials with Stripe’s primary services (API, website, etc.).
Once you create the payment, your customer will be emailed a receipt and the payment (minus Stripe's merchant fees) will be deposited into your account based on the Stripe terms and your set payout schedule – see more .
