I can’t handle it anymore.
Stripe is shutting down our accounts day by day, without explanation, despite us following all the rules.
Some might ask, “What’s the big deal about Stripe?”
Is it the analytics? The security features?
No.
None of that really matters.
Security features like 3D Secure exist only because a few bad actors ruined it for the rest of us, forcing Stripe to treat everyone like a potential threat.
And analytics? Those can be generated on the fly with the merchant’s API, basic math, and a graphing library. We don’t need a fancy web interface for that.
What truly matters is a high-converting checkout.
Everyone is familiar with PayPal and Stripe. And sure, Chargebee and Authorize.net exist… but they aren’t nearly as good.
That’s why we need Stripe, not as a payment facilitator, but as a mere payment gateway. This way, we can plug in our own merchant accounts and not deal with money going on hold.
I’ve made a Stripe-like checkout into a reality, and soon, I’ll begin gathering results.
Godspeed, everyone.

- Will conversions increase?
- Will we receive more volume?
- Will the chargeback rate increase?
Godspeed, everyone.
