How's Stripe for SaaS billing of multiple plans with option to pay on a monthly, quaterly and annual basis with appropriate discounts?

They're great the first time you charge someone. But there are things that can be really hard when you try to add seats to an account or do renewals. E.g. one thing that I know has been really frustrating to our engineers is that they don't support applying a discount amount per seat.

The checkout on mobile app looks great. Too bad this cannot be used to unlock functionality in the app after payment, it will be rejected by Apple.

Stripe Checkout is nice, but unfortunately it's not suitable for us, since the "Remember me" checkbox cannot be hidden. "Remember me" is confusing for users. What is being remembered? By whom? When you're dealing with users who may already be concerned about whether it's secure to enter their credit card number into your website, I feel like the "Remember me" box is just adding another layer of confusion and concern.…

Or have a small (?) next to it explaining in more detail what "remember me" actually does for anyone interested.

-Provides enough detail to answer anyone's questions about what it does -Doesn't clutter the overall UI

Yup, we do that.

The potential with saving payment information and tying it to a phone number is really, really exciting. Imagine having a customer come in and buy something without having to enter their credit card. I just donated to Watsi without having to take out my wallet.

Hot damn. The design and experience I felt from this page is overwhelmingly great. I've always loved stripe's design and they continue to blow me away. Really excited to activate our account any day now.

I too was blown away by the presentation. Top notch development.

This has existed for a while, and I'm using it on my site. Didn't know it was "beta." Works great. (Still in test mode though, have not yet exited beta so I'm not taking anyone's money yet.)

[Tl;dr on the below: the changes we make to Checkout are designed to increase our merchants' revenue. If a change doesn't do that, it will be reverted.] The confusion point you cite was our biggest concern in building the "Remember me" functionality. On the one hand, it's clearly good for our merchants* if customers don't have to constantly retype their card details. On the other hand, it'd be bad if we were scaring…

It's awesome that you've tested Checkout and are confident that it helps conversion. Would you guys consider releasing the experiments that your ran? I think it'd be a great lesson in testing out products pre-launch.
