As a customer: I don't not care to know who you use for payments, I will NEVER interact with them. Some have pointed out that they had been running in circle between Stripe and AMEX. Maybe AMEX is special I don't know. If there's a problem with my payment and the company responsible for the charge isn't reacting, then it's my banks problem, not mine. For legitimt companies, if there's any issue with my payment, I don't care how, you can't blame Stripe, as I have no business with them, you go deal with Stripe if they are the issue. Overall I think many have falsely viewed Stripe as some final solution to payments. Mostly I think because they where easy to create an account with. Even before Stripe it wasn't actually difficult sign up with a payment provider and most of them where better and easier to interact with, even if their APIs where worse.
