Your buddy, the coder, has now turned into a garage full of coders. Your personal fridge is forbidden, but you’re debating your launch date, based on the monthly minimums every single expenditure demands. That’s what makes Stripe your friend.

Stripe’s entire business model hinges on scale-based pricing. Zero transactions. Zero dollars. Stripe lets you work out the kinks until you’re ready to tackle the big time.
