Has anyone done this with stripe successfully?

No it’s not spam. Stripe stopped payments to Gab, which is mentioned in the article in the greater context of Silicon Valley companies having too much power in our society, controlling our speech/thoughts/politics/values. We should not put trust in Stripe and give them the same undue power given to Visa and MasterCard over payments in our society, unless they refuse to abuse that power.
Cry me a river, Stripe isn’t the government. Gab is clearly a platform for hatred, and it was totally in their purview to drop them as a customer - and oh look: Gab’s still here anyway. Baloney.
As for your "Gab's still here" comment. Clearly the lack of willing payment providers, hosts, registrars, etc. is a hindrance that costs them time and money, and prevents them from being as successful as they could be. The "still here" measure is not a valid measure of anything.
Just me or does anyone else think there’s going to be a reckoning in interchange regulation in the US like Europe soon? Merchants are hurting, and now the pandemic has forced cashless transaction adoption at an accelerating pace. The egregiousness of both exempt debit interchange and credit interchange fees is almost laughingly insane compared to Europe, where it is heavily regulated. Would be surprised not to see bi…
My requests - pass interchange onto the customer - and allow merchant to do so explicitly at whatever rate they want (not cash discount or anything). Ie, merchant might cover first 1% of interchange, pass rest on (so "premium" card holders with high interchange and high rewards pay the big price). We do have to get to chip+pin so the fraud issues diminish.
maybe just allowing a discount for cash and pin debit

Stripe pulled out of Gab because they violated their policies on adult content. This has nothing to do with conservatives or hate speech. And even if it was to do with the hate speech, have you considered the rights of the companies providing these services? I am sure there are many Jewish people inside of Microsoft, and plenty on Azure. You would force those people to provide services to someone who actively calls f…
These big payment platforms (Paypal, Stripe, Visa, Mastercard, etc.) are not really private organizations. They are public utilities providing a fundamental service required to operate our society, especially when they are as ubiquitous as the big players like Stripe. They should either only police speech to the extent the law requires, or be regulated heavily so they don't enact their own speech stifling policies. The alternative is that we outsource all our fundamental rights bit by bit to private companies who then support just speech they align with.

I'm not commenting on the legality. I am commenting on the fact that it violates the fundamental principles of free speech, which are more basic than our laws.

This is an incredibly hard problem, we are learning and don't have all the answers, but it's about time someone tried to disrupt it. Businesses and consumers are suffering, and they should not be charged in this way. Our network is rolling out over the next few weeks and would love to gather feedback from those who want to get involved in changing this industry!

We're excited to hire Mike in part because AWS has been one of the very best examples ever of simultaneously selling to the largest companies in the world while not giving up on a strong self-serve product. So many B2B companies end up with homepages for which the only CTAs are annoying variants of "read case study", "download whitepaper", and "request a call". All stock photography; no product imagery. Stripe's grow…
Will you increase your rps limits? Surely they are a big blocker for larger organizations.

there’s probably very little fraud with touchless payments like Apple Pay - most issuers require some verification to add the card to a phone in the first place. if that becomes a growing % of in person payments i don’t see the justification for high card present rates. also some data suggests people have moved to more debit transactions during Covid over credit which are cheaper to process anyway and usually means l…
The security they can deploy (apple pay seems pretty good now as long as card onboarding isn't broken) seems like they could drive down to basically low interchange?
