Stripe is a nightmare and I found support to be awful and not know their own product.
We are a UK company but now have clients worldwide and worldwide bank accounts (thanks to Wise).
So many people in the US can't pay via ACH Transfer (we can't do debit without a US entity... looking in to options and setting up a LLC now), so, we need to be able to accept credit card.
I thought I had a nice workaround by having USD to my USD account and only paying standard (high) fees, but, they now charge me a surcharge for this despite no Forex fees needed, and worse, the fees always link to the wrong transactions so I can't even reconcile properly.
On top of this, they force convert my CAD to GBP despite having a CAD bank account, and charge me so many fees on top.
It's the only option I've found as of now, but, I'm far far from being a fan.
