stripe killed my business paypapl killed my business

anything that can kill ur business will . a third party as single point of failure will def kill ur business sooner or later .

having multiple backups multiple clouds multiple payment processors multiple platforms setup and ready to go as soon as your business is printing meaningful money is the least nowdays.

It’s also better to choose one where there’s no relying on a single or a few 3rd parties.

I like any type of business, like for example “influencers”, where you get your payments in a few big chunks, from many different entities, via wire transfer. Enterprise is like that, brokering €1mm+ deals is like that.
