“I am looking at setting up my own online store, and if you sell (legal!) stuff which Shopify Payments disallows, but Stripe does allow, you end up looking at WooCommerce (a very popular WordPress plugin) pretty fast.”
“Most stripe transactions do use cost-plus pricing. The flat pricing is popular with smaller businesses, but larger companies graduate from it pretty quickly.”
“Merchant banks "used to" make money by tacking on fixed fees, i.e. a set-up fee, terminal fee, monthly fee, etc, but then Stripe came along and provided (1) a better dev experience, (2) better onboarding, and (3) simplified pricing.”
“On build or rent, I use Stripe for the money-moving and compute the invoices myself. You get to choose that, which is worth knowing up front. Put the invoices on their side and Tax and credit notes become their job.”
“The only problem: they can only hold the money in “escrow” for 90 days max in the country I’m planning to launch. The country is not an issue. The issue is the holding period.”
“I'm not an expert but I've had a lot of talks with Stripe about ACH payments in general and it seems like it's a lot more convoluted then at first glance.”
“stripe's dashboard gives you a failed-payments list, but reading the split by decline code means exporting and pivoting it yourself. and every tool that offers to do it for you connects through Connect OAuth, which has no read-only grant for this kind of integration — so to see a chart you hand over write permissions.”
“Stripe pulling a silent deprecation with no migration path is just classic, especially when the docs still show it like it works. Going to Elements is such a heavy lift for what should be a simple config toggle, feels like they just forgot about the embedded page users.”
“We invoice out of Morning, an Israeli platform, and the native invoice sync covers Stripe, Xero and QuickBooks only. So we put our own dev hours into building the connection, back when none of this was priced.”
“Stripe have slowed down the pay outs, so that Saturday’s transactions that used to clear by Wednesday now clear on Thursday, and then introduced an instant layout feature so that you pay a ridiculously high apr equivalent (around 182% apr) to reduce it to next business day.”
“No matter which application wins the agentic layer, Stripe will definitely will the payments layer. No other payments company has been more consequential in this AI era.”
“1/ we partnered with @stripe to add convenient payments to Muse with Stripe Link. Muse can make purchases for you; and it asks for your approval before spending your money”
“This looks like a huge help for anyone working with Stripe in F#, reminds me of the time I had to manually update API calls for a project and it was such a pain.”
“Hey, yes, my Mercor and Stripe dashboards both show that the payment has been received, but I haven’t actually received it yet. Yes, this is also the first time this has happened to me.”
“I tried connecting Stripe to ky zoho books. On giving the authorization of stripe to books, it redirects back to zoho books and shows connection successful. But does not show payment options there.”
“Stripe says it should arrive on the 7th, but just very unusual that this week has been different than all the other weeks and months I've been paid ”
“Your payment system is actively enabling a fraudulent fundraiser impersonating me and exploiting the ME/CFS community. I provided the fraudulent URL, screenshots, and proof that its”
“Also, even though Stripe claims to offer a gift card program for vendors, those cards often fail at Stripe checkout, resulting in chargebacks to vendors.”
“yeah, a lot of Stripe workloads are bounded by reconciliation semantics rather than raw payment volume, so a small local worker pool can be plenty until the analytics side actually proves otherwise.”
“When you hide the cancel button behind three confirmation screens or force someone to email support, they don't reconsider—they open their banking app and hit chargeback. That directly spikes your Stripe dispute rate and puts your merchant account at risk.”
“If your company runs a CRM (HubSpot/Salesforce) and a separate billing tool (Stripe/Chargebee), has an invoice ever gone out wrong because the two weren't in sync?”
“Real problem, but the reports are the least valuable third of it — MRR and churn cohorts you can reconstruct from a Stripe export in an afternoon. The money is in the failed-payment piece: subscription businesses commonly lose high single digits of MRR to payment failures that nobody followed up on, and most of that is recoverable with basic dunning.”
“The idea: finance/ops people at small subscription businesses are still pulling MRR movement, churn cohorts, and failed-payment recovery numbers out of Stripe by hand every week. Building something that spits out those 4 reports automatically plus a Sunday email digest no digging through a dashboard.”
“Also happening to me stripe stole my money say that bussines is not legit i show them prof that service is legit & they say they will refund customers since 1 month now no customers has been refunded & make my Bussines down now”
“Hey support team, I wish to close a stripe account with funds in it. The account was suspended and has crossed 120 days. I don't wish to do continue with account.”
“Scam shops and pirated streaming sites often hide behind a clean Stripe form. But the checkout page usually still exposes a few merchant fields: - The real business URL”
“Stripe's checkout takes promotion codes, not coupons, and the redemption cap lives on the code. And my dev login redirected to the wrong port for an hour because the redirect target came from .env.”
“Maybe try using stripe checkout directly and skip Polsia for the payment part, keep them just for the AI stuff if thats what you need. Not ideal but could work while you wait for their feature request.”
“I hit a roadblock in the way Polsia sets up payments with Stripe. They allow creation of the recurring payments but no user control over managing their subscriptions such as updating payment method or cancellation since they are a customer record under my express account.”
