#82Original post: Stripe crushed my startup at the first whiff of success This is just a general rant, but I wish it could be more than that. A little over a week ago, my startup saw our first and sudden uptick in user activity. After a few hard months of work building our platform, we were relieved to see customer feedback and turn our first profit. It was through a marketing campaign that had finally reached its targe…
In the same exact boat as ya right now :/ wish the best for you.

Yes, it does. There are kinds of businesses that can be run in good faith, but not on Stripe, because it's impossible to distinguish in those kinds of businesses the good actors from the bad ones. Positively, not normatively, the fact is: that is the retailer's problem, not Stripe's.
How so? Why does Stripe process payments when you're small, then fuck you over when you get more traffic? Why can't they detect this upfront, assuming there's no misrepresentation on the retailers part?

Is there anything viable in that list for a SaaS startup? I can’t imagine any of those having the features or ease of use of Stripe, but I’d love to be proven wrong.
We have a great solution. Check out 360fivepayments.com
We can board accounts in a day and provide both ACH and credit card processing on our integrated solution
Re: Stripe issues
#85I keep seeing more and more of these stories about Stripe and I can't stay quiet anymore. I know this doesn't help you now, but other payment processors are just as easy to integrate, the support is better and the fees can be much lower that Stripe. Plus you get a dedicated account manager and telephone support! I use Chase for my online payment processing - and never had a problem! Are there any other developers out…
Not a developer, but we work with many saas software applications and ISV partners. We have a payment gateway with ACH and credit card processing capabilities. We do full underwriting with super stream lined boarding process in about 24 hours.360fivepayments.com
Re: Stripe issues
#86If you ever wonder what the blockchain people were on about, this is what they were trying to prevent . Payments that stay paid, under all circumstances, with nobody intermediating.
Don't know why you're downvoted, this is pretty much the crux of the story. Someone has to eat chargebacks and fraud costs. It isn't going to be your payment provider that does so.
Everybody hates the blockchain. Even when it works.
