It's worth noting that most customers with any volume will be on custom contracts that will either be cheaper, include more features, or both. At my previous workplace we had this with relatively modest revenue and would renegotiate every year or two.

Is there a process for getting an account manager with Stripe? I think it would be useful for other reasons but cheaper fees is certainly good too.

I'd do like that:

- Have a large enough transaction volume, say, above $100k / mo.

- Use the contact form.

Note that i your transaction volume is $100k/mo, and Stripe takes 3% of it, it's $3k/mo for them. Maybe a customer that's worth paying extra attention to, but of course by spending a minimal amount of time.

I suspect that if your transaction volume were, say, $1M/mo, they would have contacted you already.

There's a "Contact Sales" link right next to the sign-in button on stripe.com.
