Stripe Directory Search

Turn a vague market need into a short, relevant shortlist with stripe directory search. Use this even when the user never says “Stripe Directory” — any request to find vendors, tools, partners, or providers for a vertical, workflow, pain point, or job-to-be-done.

Most requests are discovery — find and compare services. That is the core job below. Some services are also MPP-supported (MPP = Machine Payment Protocol), meaning you (the agent) can pay their HTTP 402 (Payment Required) endpoint and consume them directly. When the user actually wants to use or buy a service, present those results and offer to purchase — see “Purchasing” at the end.

Process

  1. Clarify only what’s missing: buyer/vertical, job-to-be-done, must-have capability, geography (only if it matters).

  2. Search iteratively: stripe directory search "<query>" --format json

    • Short noun phrases, one angle per query; run 1-3, then broaden/narrow on results.
    • Angles to cover: vertical → workflow → pain point → adjacent. Two examples:
      • services/trades: vertical (electrician software, electrical contractor) → workflow (field service management, dispatch invoicing estimates) → pain point (job scheduling, quote automation) → adjacent (home services automation, contractor crm).
      • SaaS/software: vertical (b2b saas billing, developer tools) → workflow (subscription management, usage-based metering) → pain point (failed payment recovery, revenue recognition) → adjacent (analytics dashboards, customer onboarding).
