I generally like Stripe but am getting more and more disheartened about the additional complexity they continue to add to the their products.
The whole selling point was that Stripe made it easy to accept payments online. But now it's just about as hard to setup as the old payment processors were.

- parhamn 3y agoThe problem with Checkout/Billing and co are that when they're missing a key feature you're forced to unwind the whole thing. A good example is the classic SaaS scheduled downgrade. In 99% of SaaS plans I've seen downgrading a plan happens at the end of the period. As far as I could tell such a feature didn't exist in the redirect based Billing offerings of stripe as of 6 months ago.
