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...

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.

The developer experience is live today though! The OP encountered a bug, we're looking into it internally.

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 (…

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?

When people say “invoicing” in this context they generally refer to both the PDF and the transfer of money per the details on that PDF. How that money is transferred will incur different costs.

Every time I use any of these apps, there is always a nagging sense of instability. I don’t want to base my business transactions that relies on a 3rd party Shopify app that fulfills orders over a fragile API, run by one dude hanging out on the beaches of Bali.

Some of these may be very stable but this is always on the back of my mind: “Is this going to work in 5 years?”

If you ever want to witness horror, jump over to Shopify forums: Zapier integrations gone wrong, unresponsive APIs, App owners not responding, businesses adding free integration apps that were last updated during the Obama administration, etc.

While Stripe API and their core services are stable, none of this inspires confidence.

seems like a lot of YC IPO companies are struggling to keep their share prices afloat and this seems like something to send more paying customers to its network of YC backed businesses.

ex) Docusign is down by at least 80%

Thanks for the report; we're tracking this on the public Github repo for Stripe Apps: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-apps/issues/608

You can follow that issue for updates (hopefully shortly!) and if you have additional details to add, adding them there will get them to the team directly.

Thanks again and sorry for the launch day bumps :)

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.

Why is invoicing a percentage and not a flat fee? Does it cost more to transact it?

A lot to unpack here.

1. Stripe is a private company, it hasn't IPO'd.

2. YC was an early investor in Stripe, but as a late stage company, Stripe has many, many stakeholders that are investors: https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/stripe/company_finan... to think that they're beholden to YC and would make business decisions for the sake of YC companies -- oof.

Lot of the companies featured in the marketplace is what I'm referring to I don't think its esoteric knowledge of those points you listed.

But I'm sure you been paying attention to the markets....

YC has no real clout anymore.
