Better Alternative? Stripe's 'remember me' PREVENTS alternate (biz) card

4 pointsby pardneralmost 6 years ago
Would love some recommendations of an alternate card processor for web checkout with comparable ease of integration and fee structure to Stripe?<p>We currently use Stripe, and it&#x27;s mostly awesome except for one incredibly bone-headed decision - the complete inability for people who got suckered into checking the &#x27;remember me&#x27; box to use a different card for different types of purchases.<p>Stripe interprets &quot;remember me&quot; as &quot;I never, ever want to use a different card for different types of purchases&quot;. Seems stupid to me, so I double-checked today by both chat and then a call with Stripe support:<p>1 - John Doe buys a personal item on Website A using a &#x27;personal&#x27; card, and checks &#x27;remember me&#x27;<p>2 - John Doe then comes to my B2B site and WANTS to buys something using their &#x27;business&#x27; card.<p>3 - John Doe is out of luck, and therefore, you lose the order unless you also provide a non-Stripe option.<p>Seriously, once John Doe clicks &#x27;remember me&#x27; he is locked into THAT one card, until he has support manually undo the remember-me&#x27;, according to both of the Stripe support people I chatted&#x2F;spoke with today, even after I had each of them escalate the question to be sure.<p>Stripe&#x27;s only solution is &quot;If you’re a customer and no longer want your information saved, or if you are a merchant who received a request from a customer to delete their information from the “Remember Me” service, [contact Stripe Support].&quot;<p>Oh, and that support link Stripe provides in that message offers 5 support options NONE of which apply, with NO &#x27;other&#x27; or &#x27;email us at X&#x27; option. (Phone person said your customer can simply email support@stripe.com BTW)<p>Note, even if YOUR website disables the &#x27;remember me&#x27; checkbox (an option they finally added after much back-and-forth on an older HN thread) YOUR B2B customers cannot use their business card to buy from you if they checked the box on another site when using a personal card.
