There is a paywall link for more details. I'm curious to know what they are looking to challenge (especially given the rave reviews that Stripe gets here at HN)
[Stripe cofounder] Thanks to everyone here who took a chance on us in the beginning and shared helpful feedback over the years! How to serve startups/developers more effectively at scale is still the main thrust of our product focus. We've fixed and improved a lot of things since we launched here in 2011, but we also still have a lot of work to do. (Both "obvious things we want to fix" and "new functionality we want…
I respect the scale of your ambition and the suite of services/products you guys offer to realize it. I love the copy on Stripe's website. Who wrote it? Godspeed.
It's not available at Stripe's home page. Would you mind sharing it? Thx
They're at $25b.
How is $35b justified?
Please allow international, independent charges/transfers. This is a huge pain point in our Stripe experience.
Before stripe, I used paypal and it was sooo painful! There are so many terrible APIs out there that waste so much time needlessly. Then I found stripe. What a treat. Everything was documented and the documentation itself was both readable and didn't go in endless circles like the paypal ones. The error messages were helpful. And every api endpoint had an example, which is hugely helpful: HUGELY! All the other API de…
No way that’s worth as much as Airbnb
Adyen seems to have higher revenue, a faster growth rate, and stronger overall financials. By nearly double. They're at $25b. How is $35b justified?

I know Stripe is in beta in India, but I don't see any other alternative better than PayPal. Or is there something?
Razorpay. It’s also a YC company. I think of it as essentially an India-focused Stripe clone, with UPI, netbanking, etc.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
Would be interesting to have an entirely separate 'Getting' section for folks on-boarding for first time just getting a handle on basics. Potentially even going as far as new 'Simple' APIs. Mention all the caveats up-front and direct them to documentation if they need more functionality. I'd imagine it would speed up adoption.
Great idea. We are experimenting with a similar page after sign-up. We'll send you an email with more on this if you're willing to give some feedback!
