> I guess this article sums up why we've had a rather bad experience with stripe so far: the API constantly changes, and the documentation or even Googling for a solution seems to be more confusing than ever since most articles you'll find are about some older API.

Just a note, one of the things they got right with their API is versioning. Until you decide to upgrade to a newer version of their API, nothing changes for you, and you can test out compatibility in dev/staging by simply specifying a flag on each API call (which is easy to do if they all go thru a central class that handles the Stripe API calls for your app). Their changelog also takes a "from -> to" flag which will show you the exact changes that are between the version you're on and the latest (or any other). All in all, for this specific part of it, I wish more places handled evolving APIs the way Stripe does.

agree on that. I haven't changed my stripe api calls in about 3 years, and everything is still working.
