Storing metadata in Stripe will be a very powerful combination for third-party services that are built on top of Stripe Connect. I operate http://churnbuster.io/ and the entire feature shown in the screenshot at http://imgur.com/q10zQVv can be removed now that we're able to fetch any detail required about a customer from the record in Stripe. (These details are merged into automated emails to improve personalization.)

This is awesome for us, because although the "customer details API" step was optional, it's was the most complicated part of our on-boarding process for new customers, and really addressing people by first name (at the very least) in an email is a bit important. Now we really do have a "zero-code" on-boarding process.
