#12I am always nervous about acquisition. Only time will tell if this is going to be good or bad.

We’re excited about finding the best ways to combine Lemon Squeezy and Stripe. That sounds somewhat promising but not entirely committed.
Just set a 1 year timer.
Yup - let's see it in a year.

It's a good PR statement, but founders who get acquired have zero authority to make such guarantees. You have a boss now, and they can change their mind whenever they want. They will do what's best for their business and customers, not yours.

I would much rather Stripe had bought it than PayPal. I'm still mad that they purchased Braintree and ruined it.

#16Now that's what I call horizontal integration, i.e. reducing competition.
From TFA:
> Lemon Squeezy has been processing payments on Stripe since our inception.
They're not your competition if you are already their most important supplier.

Not a lack of commitment -- we just don't want to pre-announce the specifics.

#20Are there any plans to adjust the extra % fees that get added to international, PayPal, and subscription payments, and payouts? (https://docs.lemonsqueezy.com/help/getting-started/fees)
I found these surprising as I didn't see them mentioned on the pricing page near "Transaction fees ... 5% + 50¢" (https://www.lemonsqueezy.com/pricing).
