  1. Great presentation on Stripe's pricing strategy, Aaron! However, I noticed a mention of Stripe initially charging a 5% commission per transaction. From my understanding and based on current and historical data from Stripe's official resources, they typically charge 2.9% + $0.30 per successful card transaction for domestic cards. Additional fees apply for international cards and currency conversions. Just wanted to clarify for viewers interested in the specifics of Stripe's fee structure! You can find more detailed info on their rates here: Stripe's official site. Keep up the insightful content!
