Because they can.

If it adds more value than the cost when compared to other alternatives, why shouldn't they charge something for it? It's not like stripe has anything close to a monopoly in the payments space.

Afaik that's the pricing since June at least https://twitter.com/GrahamJCampbell/status/12780024901858426... https://twitter.com/steveofmcleod/status/1277771707537780736

Quite a few of us were grandfathered in, though.

Confused because I thought Stripe Billing referred to the Customer Portal functionality and some advanced Stripe Checkout features like customer-facing promotional codes. I thought subscriptions were part of the core Stripe functionality. Can anyone clarify?

Because they can.

Yes, and they can because being a payment processor is not easy. If it were, nobody would need middle-men like them.

But of course, it ought to be, and there should be no need for the middle-men, certainly not ones that take 2-4% of the transaction.
