What is wrong with stripe? This is like the fifth post I’ve seen in as many weeks on HN

It's the new paypal.

I have some webshops serving local markets and transitioned to a local provider (mollie) after reading many posts like this. I found their APIs and documention, for which people always praise stripe, to be just as good and the support is better.

Yep. That’s the feeling I have. And we are using Mollie since 2005 (for micropayments) and after that payments. The api was always good and the people/support are real, not some ‘AI’ like paypal (and now stripe) and then ‘support’ who cannot help you because computer says no.

Well, they seem to burn their technical talent from both ends then act surprised when employees burnout.

Support (email, phone) is a joke played by people who selectively read your question and regurgitate a script, short of posting on HN your just not gonna get anywhere useful with Stripe :(

All these fiascos make me wonder if there is any value left in the FAANG brand, apart from signalling to a particular segment of hiring managers?

move fast, break things, ruin your customer's lives, but its ok you automated most of your service so you make lots of money

works out perfectly for stripe
