On: Stripe’s real pricing: a primer

[sodality2]

I pay 15% fees because of a very low subscription fee ($2.50).

2.5 * 0.029 = 0.0725 + 0.3 = 0.3725 / 2.5 = 14.9%

They also don't refund fees when a customer wants a refund.

Have you tried encouraging longer subscriptions through steep discounts?

[sodality2 → jessaustin]

Yep. I offer a yearly plan for $26. My customers are split almost exactly half and half with monthly and yearly subscribers

Thanks for the information; you're probably pretty close to optimal with those prices!
