We (Render) are a featured app in the marketplace [1]; the app lets you run real time queries against your Stripe data in a fully-managed PostgreSQL database that's always in sync. Happy to answer questions about our experience building it! [1] https://marketplace.stripe.com/apps/render-sql

While the Stripe/Render integration looks interesting for our latest startup, more than anything I just wanted to take a moment and say 'Thank you' for building such a decent product.

we need more of these comments please.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I firmly believe that transaction fees (incl invoices, etc) should be fundamentally a constant flat fee. Whoever builds a competitor to Stripe will blow everyone away. The cost of transaction is the same. Customers are being robbed in day light with % based transaction fees since the dawn of time. This entire industry is begging for disruption.

Transaction costs are not the same price per transaction. The major costs for most transactions are the risks (credit, irr, fx etc) associated with it not the fixed costs of infrastructure. Those costs go up with the value of the transaction.

Good points, this was my oversight/ignorance. Surely it is not 100% value-based costs?

No. And you can do pricing that’s flat if you are really good at risk management but note that means the price for smaller transactions begins to subsidize the big ones.

See Atlantic Monthly vs Wise for different pricing types in fx transactions as an example.

Ok - so asking the inevitable question - what is the one thing Stripe does not provide that you want to build / have someone build for you?

merchant of record (like paddle)

Afaik the merchant of record takes on the full liability, cost of fraud etc. It's pretty rare is it not?

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.

Ah got it. So you can send the invoice for free but if they pay you then the fee will be deducted from that payment. Thank you very much!

That's actually not correct. Stripe invoicing charges 0.4 or 0.5% on top of the normal payment transaction fee (for either card payments or bank transfers). Essentially, you are paying a % fee for a nice PDF (plus some reconciliation/reporting etc)

Any interesting details on how it’s implemented? If I were guessing, register a stripe webhook. On each webhook, and fetch changed events and turn it into proper sql.

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%

Docusign is up 80% over last 5 years. The covid surge of docusign never really made much sense.
