I wish everyone would switch to Stripe, I hate to be forced to keep an account on PayPal in order to deal with some partners because PayPal can't just get a credit card and let me pay without trying to be a social network, when some partner send me stripe, it's so easy and straightforward without any fuss

As a user, Stripe is super convenient. As a provider, Stripe is often a nightmare with no explanation provided terminations, nonexistent support and roboemails.

  Well, as a user I will get as much as convenience I can get ^^ But yeah I understand that today is a bit of the culture of tech companies to be unreliable, was just thinking about it today, I had few updates on iPhone apps, and all the apps didn't have any explanation, just trying to be funny about having fixed bugs, but no details, software engineering is a bit of a joke nowadays, and I think it's not just software engineering but it's just that companies are a joke, no explanation to customers, not explanation to users, no support etc.

  My primary email address is somehow flagged globally on Stripe, so I have to use an alternative to get any payment to go through regardless of what card I use: whatever@domain.com causes the payment to fail, but whatever+1@domain.com works. It's sad but hilarious but sad.

    I guess you booked it with a guest at the start

    If you have the authority, why not create whatever.stripe@domain.com? Looks official, like it's done on purpose.

Monopolies don’t usually work out well for the end user, so i really hope everyone doesn’t switch to stripe.

  Yeah I agree with you, let me rephrase, I hope everyone I deal with switches to stripe then :D
