Just to add, PayPal is also most likely a credit card processor, serving as a Payment Facilitator (PayFac), which enables others to become CC Processors. It happens that PayPal and Stripe are money transmitters, which may come with being a

CC Processors like Visa and Mastercard do refund fees on CC processing, but the interchange or % of return is smaller than the actual gross. You don't necessarily get "all" of your refund, if you're a merchant.

Thanks for this response. I'm a former biz analyst turned boot camp developer. After a couple of years slogging through, I started applying for jobs these past few months, with little to no traction, and as such have been feeling burnt

What do you feel like you need if Stripe gives you capital for your future receivables for you to go hire more engineers?

Your [0] resonates with me. Coming out of a bootcamp, I've been in the industry for 2 years. My feeling is that I'm supposed to be farther along but still feel like I don't know anything. Oh and I can't do interviews eit

I'm guessing it's because they are trying to maximize a 12 month window. In lending, the longer the money is out there, the less money you make on it. At 25K, even though they could qualify for more, Stripes assumption is that the

Would you lend money to someone who you knew was going to lose you money? Stripe is a business too. And offering capital is pretty common among many independent credit card processors.

If we're talking about consistency, how about the headphone port on the Macbook? You need a dongle to listen to music on your phone, if you want to use the same headphones for your computer.

Do you mean to say sugar-free option? Or high fructose corn syrup? Tangentially, I would argue that fructose isn't the primary cause of obesity but the excess of sugar (fructose, glucose, sucrose) consumption.
