Stripe refunds: fees from the original charge are not returned
Note: this is different than Braintree and Amazon payments, which either refund in full or simply charge only the $0.30 fee. Stripe is now at or near the most expensive here relative to the competition. The idea that they have been doing customers a favor is not accurate.<p>I have used stripe for years, but they are a company that has continued to make things worse with every update, versus AWS which has my trust they won&#x27;t increase rates. If AWS ever offered a true competitor, we would switch.<p>They invest in publishing books, but they still miss basic features like a way to test credit cards in the production system for QA purposes.  It&#x27;s an easily solved problem (let you generate one time fake card numbers programmatically that stripe &quot;pretends&quot; to charge). I have been trying to test checkout flows with them for years and their official stance is &quot;don&#x27;t test production checkout flows&quot;, which is insane.<p>I hope stripe changes it&#x27;s ways here, but they have been a large disappointment over the last 4 years or so after a solid start.
