Definitely not my favorite credit card processor. For starters, I will not earn any money if I refer my customers to stripe. It's already a non-starter at that point.
I'm a Stripe employee & would like to know more about your POV here.
What other processors pay you for referring your customers, and whom are your customers?
Very curious. Since processing is a low-margin business, it's really rare to see referral bonuses, especially the type you're describing. If we do have room to open up a program like this, I could mention it internally.
