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!

I'm both a Stripe and a Paypal user. I wish Stripe made recurring payments as easy to implement as Paypal.

Having experience implementing and working with people that have used both, I'd love to hear why you think PayPal handles subscriptions better than Stripe.

In Paypal you just create a subscription button and you are done. Paypal takes care of creating the customer profile, etc. In Stripe there are a few more hoops to jump.
