“I use Stripe for the actual payments, but do the booking through Calendly. It's a paid service but well worth it. A student buys a session, makes payment, and the system automatically emails me about it and sets up a Zoom meeting that appears on my Zoom account.”
“One of the reasons I'm doing this is because Payment Links doesn't accept a manual fixed sales tax (ie. I need to enter an address so that it calculates sales tax). A Stripe agent confirmed this for me. He said that it could be done with a checkout page.”
“We found and fixed separate problems affecting Stripe behavior and publishing. And we’ll monitor your latest ticket while you verify everything is working as expected.”
“It will then explain env vars, public/private keys, where these are set, dev vs production vars, .gitignore, the stripe checkout process, how to verify transactions on stripe dash etc”
“It’s going to take a little work to untangle/replace Replit connections like stripe and storage. Imagekit is a solid storage option that can be swapped in.”
“Paddle's the safer bet if you don't have Stripe access. They've been doing this longer, their merchant of record setup is solid, and they handle a lot of the compliance/tax stuff for you across territories. Dodo's newer and lighter on features, fine if you're keeping it simple and US-focused, but Paddle gives you more runway if you scale internationally.”
“Cost of API. It says 0.30 per account per month. Can someone confirm this and how and when this will be charged? Will this get auto deducted from the bank account we have in the stripe file?”
“Some of the problems I’m dealing with include production database/schema inconsistencies, uncertainty around whether GitHub fully matches what is actually running in Replit, Replit-specific Stripe credential handling, object storage dependencies, authentication configuration, deployment differences, and other infrastructure issues that make it difficult to know exactly what is safe and portable.”
“It’s not difficult if the information you enter during the stripe application process matches exactly what you entered for your SS-4 and your bank. Not much room for error, but also not terribly difficult”
“You're essentially paying 3.5% for Stripe to handle the paperwork headache, so the real question is how much your time is worth versus the risk of messing up a VAT filing.”
“I recently opened a stripe account for my freelancing services and enabled taxes the UK vat rate is 20% and managed payment takes an extra 3.5% should I disable this feature or should these features be kept on? Can anyone guide me through whether I need to collect vat on these services or they are not applicable?”
“With Stripe, setting `billing_cycle_anchor` to a fixed future date can create a prorated period between the end of a trial and that anchor. The first invoice may therefore cover only that partial period before the regular billing cycle begins.”
“It would be a disaster if Stripe Support would give you access, that would be a total failure for security: Just claim 2FA doesn’t work and you get access…”
“On "how do I reach a manual review instead of Support": what changes the routing is one written submission that reads like a file, not a chat thread.”
“Worse I had stripe trip on me the other day which resulted in a "card declined" message but when I logged into the bank to authorize there was nothing there.”
“One of the things I worried about a lot when I was getting pitched tons of agentic payments cos a few yrs ago: why isn't this just @stripe? First sign I've seen that it might just be Stripe”
“Hello guys, I recently bought a subscription and I paid with Paypal, but the payment happened through stripe. I refunded this subscription a couple days later and it said I received a refund on stripe, but I don't have an account there. How do I get my money back?”
“honestly at $500-5k MRR I'd say native Stripe smart retries + the card account updater cover more than people think, especially if you're not already segmenting by decline reason.”
“Right now it is still good but it will get increasingly harder for private companies like Stripe and Paypal to operate as this becomes more embedded as a critical public service provided by governments.”
“These days stripe is perhaps getting dominant, but there was an age before stripe and many small companies still have custom solutions. And how would Paypal scam you out of your money?”
“> Stripe is reportedly valued at $159BBut that value is not tested or backed by the wider market.Market cap of paypal is.Also having just spaffed "$8bn" on openrouter, I would be surprised that they have enough resources to get the ~$50bn to buy paypal. Much less the work it would take to integrate a much larger company in to the "stripe" way”
“> When a user cancels a subscription Stripe asks them for a reason. At the moment I don’t really do anything with the cancellation reason, actually this is the first time I’ve ever looked at the data.This comes across as very unserious.”
“Stripe is tiny compared to Paypal, and the dodgy Stripe CEO was trying to do some wildly creative financing and work the social media memes in an effort to pull this transaction off. Wall St.”
