too bad you can't dynamically change the price in the form.
(I worked on Checkout) You can! The docs on our custom integration are here: https://stripe.com/docs/checkout#integration-custom
For example, if the user selects Canada for their billing address I must then add the appropriate taxes to the price dynamically. Doesn't seem like that is possible?

[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…
I think the trap here, a function of scaling any business, is that what's best for most of your customers isn't necessarily best for all of your customers. Another perspective is that what's right for your 2013 customers isn't necessarily the right thing for your prospective 2014 customers. One possible outcome of your decision is that you're optimizing for customers who have repeat business and against customers wit…
Also, it's probably worth emphasizing that the traditional Stripe integration options are all still present and always will be.
Well played.
First off I'm a huge stripe fan I recommend them to clients daily. I contacted stripe about an option to disable remember me on an existing stripe checkout form at the request of a client. I was very surprised stripe said that wasn't going to be an option. They said we tested it and it will increase your conversions so it's not going to be optional. Not very stripe like at all. I can understand it being on by default…
> Being developer focused I would expect stripe would appreciate having control over the look and feel of your checkout process.
I completely agree! Stripe always has and always will let you have complete control over every pixel of the look and feel. In order to enable us to experiment and optimize with Checkout, we can't enable as much experimentation and customization there. But if you'd like to build your own flow, we'd love to help enable it :-).

can you explain what you mean by 'with the phone number'? Just curious.
Try watching the animation (click "Show me" on the page). Basically, we use your email address and phone number to save you from having to type in your credit card number everywhere.
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.…

This is the single biggest thing that makes me question whether I trust stripe long term. If you're going to make netwok decision like this now, where's your limit? It stops feeling like payments for developers and starts feeling like a "PayPal that hasn't started fucking over their merchants... yet"

Does this allow you to change the price dynamically though? For example, if the user selects Canada for their billing address I must then add the appropriate taxes to the price dynamically. Doesn't seem like that is possible?
I really want to use Stripe but it would be great if they had a more favorable pricing structure for microtransactions. Paypal, for example, will charge 5%+$0.05 or 2.9%+$0.30 (whichever is lowest) for digital goods transactions.
They have a workaround here: https://support.stripe.com/questions/does-stripe-support-mic... It mightn't suit your use case though.
