How can we get in touch about this?
- bkrausz 12y ago
  By default support@balancedpayments.com can help you out, since they have more info on your account. If you have questions that you'd rather direct my way, feel free to ping me at bkrausz@stripe.com

What's the cost?
- bkrausz 12y ago
  Since it's still in beta we haven't solidified the cost yet. Feel free to reach out to sales@stripe.com if you wanted to discuss pricing for your account. We're honoring existing Balanced pricing, so it'll be at least as cheap as what you're currently paying :).

I emailed Stripe this week and got turned down. Should I email again?

  Balanced will be providing a link to migrate your account over to Stripe. This will automatically enable ACH for that migrated account. If you want to migrate into an existing account you should email support@balancedpayments.com, they can help you out and make sure we put the right settings onto your account.

We're a marketplace that uses Balanced's ACH + escrow for moving money between buyers and sellers. I am glad to hear you will be supporting this on Stripe, but since I only have 90 days to migrate when will api/ruby support be ready and where can we find docs? Perhaps the docs are available as soon as I migrate? I am hesitant to start that process until I have code written to support Stripe. I don't want to end up with my data on Stripe going stale while I am still using Balanced to move money. Of course I am only assuming that scenario is what would happen, the announcement is pretty thin on details.

  The Ruby bindings already support ACH via the "source" parameter (see https://stripe.com/blog/unifying-payment-types-in-the-api https://stripe.com/blog/unifying-payment-types-in-the-api). We're putting the finishing touches on a guide to make migrating code from Balanced to Stripe as easy as possible: it should be out soon.
