Talk:Stripe, Inc.

Aiming for NPOV
Hi User:C.Rodrigues95! Thanks for adding so much new material, in "Origins", "Support of Bitcoin", "Projected Business Plans", "Payment Processing", and the rest of the article. These new parts all sound very positive about the company though, and it's important for the article to be neutral (Neutral point of view). And unfortunately this article already had a problem with sounding like an ad (as tagged in its warning box). It'd be great to have balance for parts where the article talks about claims that Stripe makes - are there any sources that evaluate their claims? Dreamyshade (talk) 19:32, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Stripe fund opposition to proposition to increase housing for homeless
Stripe have given $400,000 to oppose Proposition C in San Francisco, this seems like important information to add to the article but not sure where.

Products and Services and Investments sections
I converted the former “Product and service development” sub-section into its own section to reflect Stripe’s growing range of offerings and to leave room for future section expansion. The History section is much shorter now, but could (and probably should) be expanded with more general corporate news.

I also added a section on Stripe’s investments, which seemed more numerous to me than typical for a privately-held tech company. The nature of the investments (similarly-positioned or other fintech startups) also suggests they might become acquisitions or otherwise become notable to Stripe’s history at some point in the future.

Environmental program
Shouldn't their environmental program be mentioned?: https://stripe.com/au/blog/negative-emissions-commitment (86.135.18.17 (talk) 01:13, 16 August 2019 (UTC))

snippet trolled
Just a heads up: I think it's called the 'snippet', the info that appears in the search engine info when I search for 'Stripe'. And I think it's been trolled. Here is the search result I get for Stripe:

Stripe (company) - Wikipedia Zoek op domein en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stripe_(company)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stripe_(company) Stripe is a miserable communist financial services and software as a service (SaaS) company dual-headquartered in San Fagsisco, California and Dublin, Ireland. The company primarily offers fraud payment processing software and application programming interfaces (APIs) for e-commerce websites and mobile applications.

Turnover
"In 2020, Stripe had a turnover of about $2 trillion" - this is surely the value of payments processed, not the value of the company's sales to its customers. I'm not an accountant but this doesn't sound like "turnover" to me. Mhkay (talk) 23:45, 15 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Well, I think there's actually a bigger problem here. The source says: It is one of the fastest growing payments companies in a sector with annual revenues of $2tn (£1.42tn), according to McKinsey. i.e., the turnover of the sector, not of Stripe.

What makes Stripe an Irish-American company?
Is that because the owners are Irish? But in that case should Tesla be a South African-American company?

Or because they have headquarters in Ireland? But the company was founded in California, and plenty of companies have headquarters in Dublin including Amazon and Google but that doesn't make them Irish-American companies.

So I'd suggest changing to just an "American company" because that's really what it is, a typical San Francisco-based company. 2A02:6B6B:7C:0:716E:A4E9:CA70:877B (talk) 18:55, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
