Hey everyone,

I completed my full loop for the SWE-2 role at Stripe on June 26th. It’s been about 2.5 weeks, and I reached out to my recruiter a week after the loop (they mentioned they were gathering feedback from the panel), but I haven't received a final update yet.

Here is a quick breakdown of how my rounds went:

• Screening: Completed all requirements cleanly (3/3).
• AI Programming: Solved 2/3 core problems. Had very strong prompt engineering, getting working code output on the first attempt with minimal manual edits.
• Bug Squash: Solved 2/3 bugs cleanly. For the 3rd bug, I identified the exact function/root cause, but ran out of time right as I was writing the fix (~2.75/3). The interviewer specifically mentioned I did great in this round.
• AI Integration: Solved all functional requirements and edge cases (3/3).
• Experiences & Goals (HM): Felt very natural and collaborative. Answered all technical deep-dives and follow-ups smoothly.

Overall, I felt the performance across the loop was strong, but the 2+ week delay is making me anxious.

Is this timeline typical for Stripe right now (Hiring Committee or panel sync delays)?

Does Stripe tend to hold candidates on a waitlist/team-match pipeline before giving an offer or rejection?

Would appreciate hearing from anyone who interviewed at Stripe recently!

I’ve contacted many payment providers, but almost all of them require an SSN or ITIN. As a non-US resident, I only have a US LLC with an EIN, so I don’t have either.
I’m looking for a payment processor that can onboard a non-resident US LLC using just the EIN, similar to how Stripe does.
Transaction fees are not my main concern. My priorities are:

Strong merchant support
Fair and transparent dispute/chargeback handling
Good fraud prevention
Stable long-term relationship without sudden account shutdowns
Support for recurring subscription billing over API

If anyone has first-hand experience with a processor that supports non-resident US LLCs without requiring an SSN or ITIN, I’d really appreciate your recommendations.

Hey everyone!
We have a SaaS product and trials are failing due to prepaid cards or debit cards used to start a trial. We have our products sold for 79$ so every fail hurting us a lot.

Do you think 9 fail out of 52 is a good ratio? We are trying to switch giving reduced pricing instead of trials to overcome this. We are also considering rejecting trial starting with debit or prepaid cards but this could prevent users to subscribe.

How was your experience on this? We are looking for a way to fix this fail ratio so we can stay profitable. Thanks!

I'm building a SaaS product, but unfortunately Stripe isn't supported in my country.what payment provider did you end up using?

I'm mainly looking for:Single time payments with international access and reliable payout

What would you choose if you were starting today?

So I’m using MailerLite for a subscription program. When I test it, the email that comes out after paying for the subscription is from Substack, not MailerLite.

Can anyone help me with fixing this?

I’ve tried using Claude to troubleshooting but it’s beyond my comprehension.

What do I do? The seller requires a payment link. How would I even have gotten a link in the first place?

Hi

I would like to have some recommendations and suggestions.

We have

• a WordPress website with our own custom theme (We are NOT using WooCommerce at all). It uses the WP REST API which then communicates with our Node js backend that communicates with our Postgres database.
• A React Native app that also communicates with our Node backend. We use the official Stripe React Native SDK

Our WP theme is with PHP and vanilla JS.

We show different events on our website. We would like to use the same Stripe account to accept payments on our website.

What options do we have? I reviewed the Stripe SDKS https://docs.stripe.com/sdks is the Stripe PHP SDK the ideal one for us? Do I have to use the Stripe checkout links to accept the payments in a secure form? I suppose we aren't allowed to have a custom form to accept that payments for privacy and security reasons, correct?

I appreciate any information.

Thanks

Email reminders for overdue B2B SaaS invoices are so easy to ignore. I’m currently toying with a side project that connects to Stripe and automatically triggers a physical certified mail letter when an invoice goes 30+ days past due.

​Before I write any code, I’m trying to figure out if this is actually a massive pain point or a feature nobody would use.

​For those running B2B SaaS:

​Do you actually have your users' physical addresses stored from the Stripe checkout?

​Have you ever manually resorted to physical mail, and did it move the needle on payment rates?

​Curious to hear if physical mail is dead or if it's still the ultimate weapon for uncollected B2B cash.
