How is that different than any other payment processor? Interchange isn't free anywhere
2 comments

Stripe's fees are well above interchange fees (especially in Europe). On top of that Stripe's pricing for other features (e.g. invoicing and subscriptions) is also a percentage, so you end up paying a ton for those features.
And other payment processors don't charge a fee for invoicing and subscriptions?
I'm not sure if they all charge a percentage of your money transfers for that. At work we decided to migrate that part to an internal system anyway.
because stripe on purpose hide fees, constantly asks you to try out new features and then secretly charges you more then market price when you say yes. See radar, managed payment, stripe billing management etc.
