How to Get a Free DR 95 Dofollow Backlink from the Stripe App Marketplace

Most "free backlink" lists are full of low-quality directories. App marketplaces run by large SaaS companies are different: they have very high domain authority, they are topically relevant to software, and every approved app gets its own page that links back to the developer's site. This guide covers one of them, the Stripe App Marketplace, which a recent post on X describes as a free source of dofollow links from a DR 95 domain.

What is the Stripe App Marketplace?

Stripe is a payments platform, and the Stripe App Marketplace lists apps that plug into the Stripe Dashboard and Stripe data. Approved apps get a public listing page that links to the developer's site.

DR and link attributes

Domain Rating: DR 95, as stated in the source post.
Link type: the source post says the listing page gives you dofollow links to your site.
Cost: listed in the source post as free. The real cost is the time it takes to build an app that passes review.

Step-by-step: how to get listed

Step 1: Build a Stripe app and submit it

Build a Stripe app that works with Stripe accounts, for example by syncing payment data into your product or adding a view inside the Stripe Dashboard. You manage and submit apps from the Stripe Dashboard:

Step 2: Add your listing

Complete the marketplace listing: the app name, description, screenshots, and the link to your website.

Step 3: Pass review

Stripe reviews the app before it is published. After approval, your listing page goes live on the marketplace with dofollow links to your site.

Caveats and common pitfalls

This is not a quick directory submission. Every step requires a real, working app. If you don't already have (or plan to build) a genuine integration, the effort may not be worth it for one link.
Review is mandatory. The marketplace team reviews submissions before they go live. Thin, placeholder, or broken apps are likely to be rejected, so treat the listing as a product launch, not a link drop.
Verify the link attribute yourself. The source post says the listing page gives you a dofollow link. Marketplaces can change their templates, so once you're live, inspect the outbound link (look for rel="nofollow", ugc, or sponsored) before counting it in your backlink report.
The DR figure comes from the source post. Domain Rating changes over time; check it in your own SEO tool if the exact number matters to you.
Fill out the listing properly. A complete description, screenshots, and a clear link to your site give the page a better chance of being approved and of sending real referral traffic, not just link equity.

Which sites is this good for?

SaaS products that touch payments, billing, invoicing, accounting, analytics, CRM, or customer support.
Tools whose users already run their business on Stripe.
It is a poor fit for products with no reason to access Stripe data.
