merlinbeard··on Stripe migrates Stripe Subscriptions users to more expensive Stripe Billing
Unfortunately no, It was never communicated to us. we were told stripe billing would be free to use. The very least that Stripe needs to do is to grandfather the existing revenue for old customers, and put in the charge for only newly created subscriptions.

Do you pay CB the listed prices, or there is significant volume discount?

They are.

You don’t need to do any work, but you just need to pay more ;)

The original title was way more accurate. That is the essence of the change, and the reason why people are so unhappy.

If you use stripe to send monthly invoices to your customers (even if they don’t pay by card) this fees is going to apply. If I’m wrong someone please correct me. I’m pulling my hair over this change as a 5+ years old customer.

we’re exactly in the same situation.
merlinbeard··on Stripe migrates Stripe Subscriptions users to more expensive Stripe Billing
yes, as we found out through the email. Even if you send invoices, they will also take a 0.5% of those!

We process a significant amount of charges through Stripe and this is hitting us hard. We’re basically being told that you’d like to keep some of our money for yourself. We were never told that we should expect such a fee increase. This smells a lot like bait and switch.

You’re confusing Dutch with Danish. MH17 was investigated by the Dutch :)
