Building a Developer Cult

(Edwin from Stripe here.) Most people like our built-in search since it lets you quickly navigate and see related things. But if you don't, you can hit Ctrl+F+F to use native browser search. You can turn it off entirely by unchecking "Open on Ctrl-F."

Docs now save to your cache, so loading should feel pretty immediate.

What should we be more clear about in the Checkout docs? We're working on improving them, but it'd be useful to hear what you think. (Could you email me [[email protected]] and [email protected]?)

We also made the Stripe Dashboard 20% faster since March. There's more work to be done here, though—and performace (specifically the customer page) is at the top of the list.

I just started implementing checkout in Rails on a side project and the step by step docs don't cover CORS and CSP. I get a bunch of errors. Really the docs should cover every little detail leaving nothing to be researched. Any time I follow a how to doc that leaves details out I lose flow which in turns slows me down and makes me less happy.

Hi Edwin. Will you guys ever add the ability to "pause" subscriptions? The only way to do that right now is to resort to various "hacks", such as adding a 100% discount coupon and then taking it off when unpausing.

Yes! We added this in March: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/pause.
