1) Stripe pays around 1% give or take 25 basis points depending on card type and location.
2) I highly doubt you’re getting sub 1% rate in the US with only $2M monthly, especially if you do card not present transactions. (See sources, I won’t call you a liar, because you could be in a very tiny niche or not US based, but all signs point otherwise).
3) most folks who use Stripe aren’t doing $2M in volume and likely don’t have the business credit rating / history to get a very low take rate. Further, Stripe doesn’t nickel and dime customers with other fees, so for lower volume customers the 3% actually might be a savings. If not, it’s a low markup for ease of use.

4) was the hostile attitude really necessary?
