What is the probability today, that when a user of my app hits Checkout, they will already have a credit card saved which makes signup faster?

You really should do a blog post about it, the first thing I did after admiring the animation was pull open the inspect panel to see how it was done haha. I would love to read more about it.
So, the technical part isn’t that crazy tbh — as soon as you respect some pretty straightforward principles you should be fine (animate only transform/opacity, favour requestAnimationFrame over setInterval, transitionend/animationend events over setTimeout, …). The complicated part was mostly the “creative” process, ie. how fast should the animation run (some people read, others don’t), what's the appropriate bezier-…
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.
This. You basically have to use PayPal or Amazon Payments when you're dealing with microtransactions if you don't want to lose up to 40% just in processing fees. The workarounds with bundling transactions don't really work for my use case.

[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…
> We consider it our job to optimize the Checkout in order to maximize our users' revenue. Even if you ran a controlled study and determined that this checkbox increases conversion by 100x for 99% of your merchants, it is still quite possible that for someone out there with some business in some selected market it harms them (potentially enough to be devastating). There is a reason why PayPal has tons of tiny little…
Looking back at my sales, too many customers use Paypal to simply go to Stripe only. I wish someone would make something that is as easy to use as Stripe but also offers Paypal. The few I've seen are still everything and the kitchen sink, not just a simple stripe + paypal combo.
I'd be curious as to how many you'd lose by ditching PayPal versus how many would just go ahead and put in a CC.
From your video, I noticed that on a smart phone, you authenticate user by sending a code through text. Isn't that redundant? Whoever has that phone will get that text..
Not someone who stole the remember-me cookie off the phone, though.
We set it up over here @Patreon and it was EZPZ. One issue that wasn't clear from the documentation -- the "custom" setup ( https://stripe.com/docs/checkout#integration-custom ) is preferable for so many reasons (and it's no harder to setup, not sure why it's not just the only option) -- it doesn't "take over" the form so that a credit card is required on submit and it also returns a bunch more relevant info like the…
I believe you can get all that out of the token Stripe gives you with Checkout. It's certainly available in the dashboard for a Checkout charge.

Incorrect! You can now use Knoxpayments.com and micro-transactions are free - enjoy!
I'm pretty sure the OP was referring to credit/debit transactions...
I suppose your site still needs to have SSL in order to use Checkout?
Hey pc, do you plan to add escrow to Stripe Checkout at some point?
