I'm delighted that this essay exists. Jessica helped out in so many different ways during the early days of Stripe that I can barely remember half of them. (John and I became interested in startups in large part as a result of reading

I'm one of Stripe's cofounders. It's about the functionality, not the promotion. The whole premise of Stripe is that a richer, more powerful stack of APIs -- rather than the bare-bones electrical outlet to the credit card net

Yeah, now the challenge is just that I don't remember the exact amount :-). I believe $20k or $30k. We'd raised ~$1.8M by this point and so it seemed like a reasonable amount to spend.

So were Stripe and Parse, as it happens. We reached out to the owners of domains that looked unused / potentially for sale.

Only some debit cards are covered by Durbin. (Those issued by US banks with more than $10 billion in assets.) So, sure, we could break that out... but quoting "X% for most cards and Y% for Durbin-regulated debit" isn't exactl

Yeah, I agree that you need to be careful navigating these kinds of relationships. That said, I think part of the reason we've been able to do deals like this is because we're so clear that we're on the side of the businesses

> In the US Stripe charges 2.9%. That's 66% more than in Australia. Do you think it costs Visa that much extra to process a payment in the US? No, it clearly does not. The extra interchange in the US doesn't go to Visa but in

Oh, we do -- we've hired a few people to help users in #stripe on a full-time basis.

I wasn't in the IRC room, but I'll go take a look at what happened there -- thanks for the heads up.

Hm, I never received anything! Can you send it again? (Two of us from Stripe, myself included, have already been in contact with disappointeddev.)

Our overall support response times are actually substantially faster than, say, 3 months ago. Part of it is, I think, because we're growing quickly -- even for the same problematic case percentage, there are going to be more in absolut

Well, the "support" here is just much more visible than everything else that we do. We provide support over as many channels as possible: we employ full-time folks in #stripe on IRC, we monitor Twitter, we send thousands of emails
