I'm not sure your story is like the other stories we see on HN. > Why make things so complicated when checking-out? We help you provide the fastest way for your ONline users to checkout as fast as possible wherever they’re located -- It only takes ONE click! This is the line from your website, I see two major problems: * Your building a product that essentially competes directly with Stripe. I'm not sure on Stripe's specific terms, but most companies do not allow you to use their platform to compete with them. If they don't explicitly disallow it, it's often in some ambiguous term. I don't see how you ever expected to build directly on Stripe (or another "developer friendly" service). You need to work at a lower level where the provider doesn't offer a directly competing service. * Caveat. I don't fully understand what your doing. "It only takes ONE click" screams "we're extremely risky and don't take proper measures to ensure transaction validity". Fraud is a major problem for Stripe (and all online transaction services). This line reads a lot like you'll be bypasing Stripe's protections and enabling risky transactions. Stripe can't allow that type of risk. I know it's easy to be an armchair critic, but these seem like pretty obvious risks of the business you went into. Complaining that Stripe killed your business is not genuine. This is basic risk management that failed. |
