Builds things at @Stripe. Passionate about bagels and usually eats too many vita-gummies.

We love the idea of having roles for spending controls. It's not currently part of the product, but we're planning to work on this very soon!

Thank you! Fixed. (:

Your business doesn't need to be incorporated to apply. Sole props are welcome! It's worth noting that the personal liability changes, though: the individual behind the sole prop will be personally responsible for charges on their account.

(Amber from Stripe here. For folks following along, we're talking about the "Additional Benefits" section on the page.)

Anything that says "cash back" is automatically applied to your card spending and for both new and existing customers. For everything else, we'll give you a discount code to type into the partner's site directly!

Right now, you pay through a linked bank account. We are planning to let you pay from your balance in the future, though. (Most of our early users preferred the former.)

(Amber from Stripe here.) We're definitely planning to expand to other countries—this is just the start.

Hi! OP here.

This actually works out okay for most of our libraries. For the ones that can support it (Ruby, Python, etc), we don't hardcode the properties for any resources and instead generate objects on-the-fly when you make an API request.

In the $1 example, the libraries will just construct a Charge object without the `amount` property, since it wasn't returned in the API response.

You're right that it isn't perfect for other languages, though. We're working on making our versioning story better in our docs, libraries, webhooks, etc. (:

Hi! We only prefill your email address if you're logged into your Stripe account while looking at that page. Hope that clarifies things.

(Sorry about the late reply!)

Not generally, but we'd definitely be willing to take a look if you want to send something in! (:
