What are the chances of Stripe offering micropayments like Paypal? For charges of $1 or less. There are so many areas waiting for this, and Paypal just isn't friendly enough of a platform to try this direction.
- xiaomei 15y agoI believe Amazon Payments allows for sub-dollar charges.
- nodesocket 15y agoThe Stripe minimum charge is currently $0.50.
- marquis 15y agoAccording to their pricing at 2.9% + 30c per charge that leaves you with 18.55c. Paypal is 5% + $0.05, a massive 47.45c. If Stripe could even partially match that I'd be delighted. I'm currently looking into Amazon's aggregated option and haven't come up with numbers yet.
- fomojola 15y agoOne point: the Paypal micropayments tariff level makes sense for stuff under about $12 or thereabouts. For prices above that, it is actually worse. But yes, Stripe matching the micropayments levels would be kinda neat.
- saurik 15y agoYou are allowed to have two accounts (this is even officially recommended by PayPal), one with micropayments and the other with normal payments; as you know the amount of money being requested before transferring the user to PayPal, you can use the two accounts to get the best possible rate in all cases.
- white_devil 15y agoCan you guess where one needs to be located to use Amazon Payments?
- trafficlight 15y agoIt's like Square and Stripe need to join forces.
