Stripe makes none of the hardware that is currently available (the BBPOS Chipper™ 2X BT or Verifone P400). Not sure which processing platform they are riding atop of these days (perhaps Tsys?) but we maintain a separate First Data account and CardConnect integration since Stripe's support for certain BINs of business cards is lacking.

(I work at Stripe.) Keep in mind that Stripe Terminal has upfront pricing: there are no additional software, PCI compliance, or monthly fees (or even equipment lease payments!). When factoring in these additional fees that many legacy players charge on top of the payment processing, Terminal oftentimes has more favorable pricing (along with working alongside your existing online Stripe transactions).

If you want funds in minutes, we have Instant Payouts in the US, Canada, and Singapore now, which lets you cash out to a debit card right away for a small processing fee. Our standard bank transfers are limited by existing banking infrastucture (e.g. the ACH network), but most transfers land within 2 days.

For BINs support—I'm sorry for those issues. Would you be able to email me and I can see if we can work on this? edwin@stripe.com

If you punch “1337” into the pinpad it redirects you to their jobs page - cute.

I came to the comments solely to see if anyone found secret codes. Edit: Found the key sequence handling code addToKeySequence(t) { if (this.keySequence.push(t), this.insertCardScreen.createShowDotsAnimation(this.keySequence.length).play(), this.keySequence.length

For those not in the know, 4242 is used as a common test card number.

I'm still waiting for the ability to pay for an invoice using terminal. The use cases being a user sends an invoice to a customer and then collect payment for that invoice in person.

That's a neat idea! Adding to the list.

Aren’t they a bit big for that now?

That doesn't matter anymore, it seems. See: Disney portfolio

I don’t think they’ve ever made a $95 billion acquisition. Marvel, Lucasfilm, Pixar, each ~$4-7 billion. I believe Fox was their biggest acquisition by far, and it was decently close to Stripe, at $71 billion.

But yeah, a $95 billion acquisition would be huge, and very rare.

Is it just me or has Stripe come out with like 4 new products in the last month?

I guess this went under the radar (heh), but they also introduced a new React component called Stripe Payment Element, to help with local payment methods around the world: https://twitter.com/jordanstaniscia/status/14052064129473822...
