What emails are you sending that cause this?

Edwin from Stripe here. We’re trying this out on Stripe hosted invoices at the moment.

We’ve always had something similar in the footer, but wanted to see if customers receiving the invoices could use a bit more context on what Stripe hosted invoices are.

(Again, just a trial—if folks have feedback on this [or anything invoicing!], feel free to get in touch directly with the team at suzannex@stripe.com and rotimi@stripe.com.)

Why not a “learn more” link, or something similar? This is just an advertisement
