I am a new customer for Stripe. The integration with Xero was completely missold to me as a cost effective and fast payment service. This couldn’t be further from the truth. As a small construction company our first deposit invoice was paid by a customer amounting to GBP 1637 and Stripe/Xero fee was charged at GBP 31. This is extortionate and neither a solution for the customer nor small businesses. Furthermore Stripe will take 7 days to release funds due to verification checks. We are an established company with an already established bank. It doesn’t need 7 days checks. I feel scammed quite honestly.
