Take a look through the original thread. Lots of hot takes didn't age well. Currently processing $14M per month in gross volume ~ $150K/Month. AMA!

I always had an interest in design, designing a lot of websites before and during college. My first job out of college was a Java Support Dev, for a health care company, which was …

Chip & pin is not a requirement in the US, but I agree with you that using it does alleviate risk. This is why Stripe offers a fee discount to 2.7%+5c when using their card reader …

There are several copycat apps that have tried varying pricing structures (some more like 1.3%) and others that tried to go lower (like 0.1%).

Looks like the redirect is broken. Try https://paymentforstripe.com

I should mention, I already went through that with Stripe once. I did an interview for Mixergy here describing what happened. TLDR: I built an analytics app on Stripe, then they la…

That argument doesn’t make any sense to me. Stripe gets 2.9% regardless of how many users I have. It’s just volume to them.

It’s handled as non card present, similar to e-commerce. At some point, 3DS will be required.

We have an integration with Payworks for non-US, but mostly hoping Terminal rolls out globally soon. But, no card reader is required.

Not required in the US. Email receipts are built into Stripe if you provide emails.

Thought about this so many times with domain registrars. I’m content not being a huge company. Way simpler.

Larger user base will hopefully protect me from being cut off.

Ha, extra space was great, but hated the location. Spent all our time in the car (I was working remotely as an FTE), so basically stranded.

Didn’t. First integrated with Magtek (insanely painful). Then I wished that another company would make it simpler. Along cane Stripe’s Terminal and here we are.

Bingo, although the YAUs is a bit lower than that for obvious reasons. However, simple solution for these places to depend on for in person charges. Though the private jet company …

Great question. It’s not about the money, but more about how I was passive for too long just letting it be. I’ve waited to invest in several things for growth until I knew had the …

This is EXACTLY what I did, and I agree there are soooo many opportunities like this. I think most people are risk averse to it as they think the API might get shut off, but I look…

Thanks! So far, so good after 1.5 years. Truly sucked stuffing more capital into the business as there is a lot concentrated there that is somewhat illiquid, but our working relati…

That’s right, second is Apptweak

Happy to not be selling my soul to another Evil Inc or having a boss... tried that several times before.

I’m the founder, and although I can’t speak for the other posts, I can assure you the numbers are real. Several posts in my personal and business Twitter feeds can confirm.

Thanks! I work closely with several people at Stripe already across many different teams, so not really holding out hope for anything. Very happy and content with where I’m at.
