“When people ask why a giant like Stripe or Visa won't just swallow the stablecoin market, @rooqster thinks they're missing the scale of it. They're picturing a new feature on a checkout page.”
“i guess the tradeoff is more in the ongoing part is that with a MoR you pay more to basically stop thinking about the VAT/compliance side, while with normal Stripe you'll have that responsibility.”
“Fraud detection is really, really, really, really hard so I would probably stick with someone like Stripe for this, as they have so much data that they can do a really good job.”
“Clerky is great. I used it a few years ago and not only was the web product as advertised, they were quick to answer questions and give advice where they could for years after. I hope they keep doing well within Stripe.”
“This feels deeply problematic.Lol, no.Firstbase, Doola, Capbase. Not to mention all the old school cos that will help you incorporate in their state.”

“I tried establishing my startup with Stripe Atlas in 2020 and it was a total trainwreck. Nothing worked right, nobody had a fucking clue what was going on, dead ends everywhere.I gave up and went with Clerky, paid them $800 lifetime fee, and had things done the same day.”
“My analysis is that Stripe wants to own the costs of running a startup. They would get a complete picture of both sides of the business: what money comes in and where it goes.There are also a couple of advantages.”
“I think Stripe is looking at companies using their services and identifying companies to acquire. This reminds me of Facebook looking at data from pixel data to identify apps with heavy usage they could acquire.”
“Cut their headaches, and they'll be happy giving you a wider cut.Thus, a million little acquisitions to make the possible Stripe bundle for small companies stronger, as they become the moat. The opposite of, say, the Adyen play, when you want to lower your own costs, and make money on tiny margins to do processing for really large companies.”

“When Piotr and I started @ElevenLabs, one of the first things we did was set up a @Stripe account and every subscription we’ve collected has run through their infrastructure. We're excited that Stripe is now using ElevenAgents to interact”

“Stripe with a US LLC is the standard route for Pakistani founders but the account stability really depends on how clean your business looks on paper. A proper LLC, EIN, US bank account through something like Mercury or Wise, and a clear refund policy go a long way.”
“So can you please tell me what your experience has been with any of the international vendors so far and whats recommended for a long term stable account ? What options are there to connect with Stripe ?”
“As others have said, Stripe has API versioning to prevent this. However, just to add to this, it's not just that you can use the API version of your choice, but also if you do not pass an API version when making the call, it will be made using your account's default API version which is set when you make your first API call or by upgrading your API version in the Dashboard.”
