what other avenues of escalation are there?

You can send evidence that the customer purchased the product and is using it to Stripe and they’ll still issue a refund. Google can delete your account and not say why. There’s no other way to escalate: support people will tell you they’ve done all they can and close any further tickets you open. Social media is the only other resort.

You could also email their CXOs. Many will appreciate direct (considerate) customer feedback that they may not be hearing from their teams. Claire Hughes Johnson, Stripe's Chief Operating Officer, who presumably oversees service/support, is at claire@stripe.com¹.

¹ FYI, this email was publicly discoverable via search engines and took a few seconds to find.

A quick Google shows she stepped down as COO over a year ago, so possibly not a great example.

Thanks for posting that. So does Stripe just not have a COO at the moment?

I think escalation via social media is valid if you’ve exhausted all other avenues and have not been satisfied. I’ve done it personally with mixed results.

I do not think posts on social media are indicative of a complete failure of the customer support system.
