I wish that Stripe would just acquire a few of these really great ideas for extensions to their core platform so that these features were rolled into Stripe itself. Stripe makes it so easy to drop in some code and have secure payment pages on your site, why don't they make it so easy to drop in some code and have secure payment history for your users on your site?

Hi there dchuk. So many great apps out there built on top of Stripe's API. We actually set out to be just as easy to integrate as the Stripe Checkout plugin (if not easier). Let me know if you can take it for a spin; would love feedback!

You are missing the point.

All these great apps should come directly from Stripe, so not to leak sensitive business information to random 3rd party companies.

It's network effects, that's why. They get all of these people who are then given an opportunity to compete to make the best service, all of those efforts which provide more real value for Stripe - and at practically no cost, except for creating a good API and providing good support.

I can respect that.

We don't store any Stripe data other than a few non-identifying pieces, required to enhance the experience for customers.

Feel free to email me (oliver@accountdock.com) if you're curious to learn more about the security & privacy precautions we've taken.

I have a SaaS that processes about 20 payments per day. 6 via wire transfer, 2 via Stripe, rest via PayPal. Even if Stripe had any of these "extensions", they'd be unusable for me, because they'd also mean inconsistent behavior between the three payment providers I offer.

So, I'm glad that Stripe just handles payments and does it well and the rest, I wouldn't even use it.

But then again, the receipt I send is a "text/plain" email send via mail();

Nobody ever complained so far. B2C.
