We currently use Stripe, and it's mostly awesome except for one incredibly bone-headed decision - the complete inability for people who got suckered into checking the 'remember me' box to use a different card for different types of purchases.
Stripe interprets "remember me" as "I never, ever want to use a different card for different types of purchases". Seems stupid to me, so I double-checked today by both chat and then a call with Stripe support:
1 - John Doe buys a personal item on Website A using a 'personal' card, and checks 'remember me'
2 - John Doe then comes to my B2B site and WANTS to buys something using their 'business' card.
3 - John Doe is out of luck, and therefore, you lose the order unless you also provide a non-Stripe option.
Seriously, once John Doe clicks 'remember me' he is locked into THAT one card, until he has support manually undo the remember-me', according to both of the Stripe support people I chatted/spoke with today, even after I had each of them escalate the question to be sure.
Stripe's only solution is "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]."
Oh, and that support link Stripe provides in that message offers 5 support options NONE of which apply, with NO 'other' or 'email us at X' option. (Phone person said your customer can simply email support@stripe.com BTW)
Note, even if YOUR website disables the 'remember me' 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.
