“Anthropic is exploring whether to bring more billing, fraud detection, tax and treasury infrastructure in-house rather than relying entirely on outside providers such as Stripe, per The Information.”
“for micro saas under 5k mrr, fighting friendly fraud manually is usually a waste of time since stripe charges a non refundable dispute fee regardless of the outcome.”
“Someone experienced can audit the current setup for DB integrity, auth/Stripe configuration, secrets exposure, error handling, deployment consistency, and Replit-specific dependencies. That gives you a concrete list of actual risks and fixes, instead of spending thousands rebuilding infrastructure that may already be good enough.”
“It became an issue once we had more customers on recurring plans. A few failed renewals meant checking with card failed, whether the customer had updated their details, and whether the payments would go through on another attempt.”
“Yes, there's always stripe horror stories. Just like paypal, wise, and payoneer horror stories. The only way to not have a horror story is to take cash in person.”
“If the provider is not listed for that shop, connect the Stripe account directly in its own dashboard and verify whether the shop's payment setup supports that route. I would contact support with the shop country, entity country, and provider error, rather than creating a second account, since a mismatch can trigger verification or payout holds.”
“I’ve seen some people complain that it holds their funds and/or falsely bans their accounts if the fund is too high … and Im afraid that it’ll do the same for me”
“i mean you're not wrong but sometimes the docs are a maze and you just want someone to say the number, stripe is like 2.9% + 30c and klarna takes their own cut on top, so maybe around $6-7 total on a hundred”
“Stripe MoR is decent but the fees stack up quick, especially if you need billing and tax on top. Paddle wraps everything in one price so its easier to predict. For worldwide clients the simplicity is worth something, switching might not save you much unless your volume is really big”
“Yes, but it's different: the secret key stays server-side only (Secrets), and the publishable key goes to the frontend, since it's meant to be public. In Replit that's usually a VITE\_STRIPE\_PUBLISHABLE\_KEY (or NEXT\_PUBLIC\_..., depending on your stack) so the browser can load Stripe.js / Checkout.”
“And once it works, I recommend never touching anything related to Stripe in Replit again, haha. The same thing happened to me, and it took Replit about 10 hours to fix its own error.”
“stripe is solid but if you want someone to handle tax compliance for you look into Creem. I didnt want to deal with international VAT nonsense and its been fine so far”
“You can also paste in your address and the chat LLM will figure out how to handle the address submission for that specific site.Also, we bring in the PayPal and Stripe Elements directly into the chat so you can enter your credit card info. Just like entering it on that merchants website.”
“Hi everyone, I’m trying to connect my existing Stripe account to Shopify, but Stripe does not appear when I search under third-party payment providers.”
“From 2 September, US creators participating in X's Original Content Rewards and Subscriptions programmes are being paid through X Money rather than Stripe.”
“apple and google still take the money on mobile, stripe still takes it on web. revenuecat sits on top of all three so your app asks one question ("does this user have pro?") instead of three, and you get one dashboard.”
“I've got a Stripe account, and there are tons of options. I'm looking for something easy to set up, compliant with US regulations, and works everywhere.”
“Stripe is the easy one, with one trap. Keys are portable. Just remember to update the webhook endpoint URLs in the Stripe dashboard to the new domain, and keep both endpoints live during the cutover so you don't drop payment events.”
“Stripe can stay on the same account with the same customers and subscriptions; you'll just need to move the keys, create the new webhook endpoint/secret and test it. auth is usually the awkward bit, because existing sessions may die and users might need to log in again or reset passwords.”
“So for me to be logistically legal the receipt must contain my legal business detail so i can give it to my accountant to do the taxes. Stripe doesnt have that tho. What my options here to be correct?”
“Okay so PayPal is being dumb and annoying and withholding money from me for a bit, so I’m gonna be testing out stripe. If anybody would want to send me even a dime just to see if payments go through, I’d highly appreciate it 🫡”
“I only have experience with using Stripe integrated into a website for a seamless checkout flow, but I have seen people use payment links on Stripe if you don't want to do that, you can just create a link to get payments each time.”
“In conclusion, make sure you do not use important emails when buying online, specially when buying from small merchants. Plus be aware that through stripe the merchant can see you name and billing address, so its better to use a PO BOX.”
