We do relatively lower volume of higher value ACH transactions (ie, 20K/transaction). What's interesting is strip invoicing is pretty uncompetitive here. Fee for sending one invoice is $100/invoice. For every 100 invoices you are spending $10,000. OUCH!!! In other words, if someone was allowed to do an invoicing app in this marketplace it might do ok for a group out there. A target would be folks doing ACH payments (…

They charge 0.5% per invoice for the higher tier, so for 20k that would be 100 bucks. Which is still excessive imo, but not 500 bucks.

This was inevitable.

App marketplaces are great all around. Great for users - more functionality. Great for partners - easy access to distribution/users. Great for the marketplace owner - improve your product, while adding network effects that deepen your moat against competitors.

Yes, this math seems more accurate. And for businesses sending _many_ high-dollar invoices, we have custom pricing. (Get in touch at https://stripe.com/contact/sales or email edwin@stripe.com.)

This looks cool. Took it for a spin but got stuck at this confirmation message after running the create app command:

To continue, please accept Stripe Apps terms and conditions for your account. Press Enter to open the browser or visit https://dashboard.stripe.com/apps/accept-terms (^C to quit)

Waiting for confirmation...

After waiting for a few minutes, it terminates with this:

please accept Stripe Apps terms and conditions before proceeding

I've already accepted the terms.

But would you allow invoicing app into your app store?

This is great, congrats on the launch, I love ecosystems! One thing I'd really love to get Stripe's take on is how they are thinking about utility of 3p apps within Stripe. For me, it's much easier to work within the native app than to figure out how to use that same app, with limited functionality, within Stripe.

It states "Stripe Apps are coming in the next few weeks. Explore the Marketplace, and get notified when an app is available" so maybe it's just how they're gating access.

Sorry, question by someone who is not part of the USA (not even Europe, if it's a common case in Europe too). Why would you have to pay to send an invoice? It isn't just a PDF? Is there an extra mechanism that I am missing?
