I had this exact experience recently too! Stripe was so easy at first so my estimate to upgrade was only a day, but the number of concepts and the muddled way they’re introduced meant day after day I was still working out if I really needed a payment intent, what would getting charge authority look like, do I even need any of this since I’m not doing business in Europe (in the end no, I migrated to the ‘old’ charges api, which the token api used to be). It ended up taking 5 days and causing quite a bit of angst with my cofounder due to a customer deadline
Combined with Stripe not refunding merchant fees, which was what triggered me to rewrite the payment process to delay processing until the last possible moment and making our own customer facing process more complicated, my most recent experience was less magical (like it was the first time) and more like dealing with a giant bank
I really like products like connect, and the original front end SDK (elements feels like overreach), but if someone hungrier came along they’d definitely get a look in
