Yes, and I know of startups using data like this to find financial influencers that if customer A makes a purchase / visits a store, customer B, C, and D will show up in 3 months. Same goes for Square -- but for some reason, the emphasis on these integrations seems to be lacking... I've interacted with both and Stripe seems to 'get' this integration value.
For them, the hardest part was getting the data, then maintaining the relationship to keep access. Stripe has a 0 cost data stream (which is a slightly different definition I guess for novel data stream) - it's novel in that it's kind of like the Rockefeller 'what's this stuff we dump into the river? oh gasoline?' type of novelty.
Also, the metadata that sits on top of all of this - which products are selling, what's the product life cycle of company A in similarity to company B, makes this so much more potent than just the CC data itself. Stripe understands your business better than you do.
