Unless that startup is a site that has naughty pictures!
- scrollaway 6y agoYou're getting downvoted but it's fair criticism. Unfortunately it's also probably out of Stripe's hands, given that it tends to be driven by partner limitations.
- karlshea 6y agoI also edited out something unnecessary. But maybe Stripe could be pushing back against those limitations or helping to find other solutions. Apple seems to be able to (see Grindr).
- jklein11 6y ago>Apple seems to be able to (see Grindr). Can you please elaborate on this?
- karlshea 6y agoYou pay for a Grindr subscription through Apple using IAP. Grindr presumably wouldn’t be allowed to use Stripe given their terms of use. If one wanted to create something like Grindr but as a website instead of an app, the options for payment are extremely limited.
- PKop 6y agoOr maybe people could push back against normalizing support for these types of businesses. Many don't agree that this should be supported, and think Stripe is correct here.
