Stripe cofounder here. This isn't really new -- it's an extension of our last round (https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/19/fintech-start-up-stripe-notc...).

That said, we've seen a big spike in signups over the past few weeks. If any HN readers have integrated recently and have feedback, we're always eager to hear it. Feel free to email me at patrick@stripe.com and I'll route to the right team(s).

As always, thank you to the many HNers who are also active Stripe users!

It's probably wishful thinking, but times like these would be super valuable and helpful if Stripe showed their daily processing volume and perhaps general aggregate statistics and graphs (per country). I know it's probably intellectual property and secret sauce, but imagine:

"Since US Covid shutdown (as of March 13th) Stripe US processing volume is up X% or $Y billion."

This general information would provide great context to the health of the US economy and e-commerce. I know other companies such as payroll processing (ADP) release numbers and the stock market uses those as an input to the health of the economy.
