Story
Information Technology work at Intercom spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Subscription billing was splitting across regional habits. Finance and product asked for a shared way to run monetization without freezing local judgment.
Stripe (Stripe Billing) is what they standardized on. Stripe is a payments and financial infrastructure platform that companies use to accept cards, run subscriptions, and move money. Intercom uses it as the system of record for subscription billing, with finance and product as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
