Insight Enterprises announced on January 14, 2026 that it has expanded its global partnership with Stripe, a leading programmable payments platform, to help enterprises modernize legacy financial infrastructure, boost checkout conversion, and deploy AI‑driven commerce solutions at scale.
The expansion builds on Insight’s existing Stripe Center of Excellence, which employs more than 100 Stripe‑certified architects and payment engineers, and positions the company to offer end‑to‑end solutions that combine Stripe’s payment orchestration, stablecoin accounts, and Agentic Commerce Protocol with Insight’s integration expertise and AI services such as Insight AI and Insight Lens for Gen AI.
Stripe’s recent AI initiatives—an AI foundation model for payments, a stablecoin financial account, and a new payment orchestration tool—provide the technical foundation for the partnership. Insight will enable large organizations to embed purchases directly into AI agents, such as ChatGPT, and to manage the full payment lifecycle through Stripe Terminal and Insight Flex for Devices.
Insight’s financial performance in the past two quarters shows a trend of shrinking net sales but expanding gross margins, reflecting a shift toward higher‑margin services. The partnership is expected to accelerate the adoption of subscription and recurring revenue models, helping Insight offset the decline in legacy hardware sales and strengthen its profitability trajectory.
Joyce Mullen, President and CEO of Insight, said the collaboration “empowers enterprises to innovate beyond legacy billing and payment systems, creating new revenue models that were previously impossible.” Eileen O’Mara, Chief Revenue Officer at Stripe, added that the joint effort “enables the world’s largest companies to stay as nimble and ambitious as the day they were founded.”
The partnership positions Insight ahead of competitors in the IT solutions integrator market, where firms are increasingly focusing on AI and digital transformation services. By combining Stripe’s programmable finance platform with Insight’s AI and integration capabilities, the company can offer a more comprehensive suite of services, potentially capturing a larger share of the growing AI‑driven commerce market while mitigating headwinds from macroeconomic uncertainty and legacy product decline.
