Hey, Stripe, thanks for listening to the feedback that was provided, e.g., in the previous HN discussion:

Really appreciate it!

I'd read the thread on hacker news, and then, a few weeks later, I bought something at a very niche site. There was a checkbox that said "Remember me everywhere". Even though I'd recalled the discussion here, I was afraid to check the box because it's so vague. Remember me why? And literally "everywhere," really? It wasn't clear that I wasn't opting in to some new kind of advertising tracking or location spyware service.

Anyways, Stripe made the right choice here.

What do you think of the explanation that appears when you select it? (Feel free to email me if that's easier; patrick@stripe.com.)

Nothing, because I didn't check it and see an explanation (you need a little "?" icon, or at the very least an instant-tooltip).

We're actually testing a variant that does exactly this.

I didn't check it because I didn't completely know what it did. I mean, I could guess what it probably did (write a session cookie on stripe's domain).

It wasn't obvious that I'd have to make the decision (check the box) before being given the information needed to make the decision.

UX is not easy :(

"Remember me everywhere" sounds kind of sketchy. I would be less suspicious of something like "Remember me with Stripe" because at least it would give some indication of who exactly is storing my information.

The turnaround time on this from Stripe really is something to be envied. One of the best ways to make customers loyal is to show that you hear them.

Funny fact, but due to Australian privacy laws 'Remember Me' was not able to be displayed in the first place so it didn't effect me.

Now just patiently waiting to be able to accept USD.

Hey, have you got a link to the part in the privacy laws that stops 'remember me' being displayed? I've never run into that before on Australian sites.

I would like to know as well. Looking at the new NPP[1], I don't see anything that prevents it if full disclosure is provided and consent requested. Although IANAL.

There was also a brief comment from pc about this a couple of weeks ago that might be worth linking to here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7400884

This is great. The flexibility makes checkout a legitimate option for merchants... again.

Having read the original post when it was trending, I'm ecstatic to seebthis beimg implemented already. I believe I willbforbsure bebusing Stripe when I set up an online store in the next few months!

We are going live with Stripe tomorrow. Good to read all these comments :)
