A founder, felphos, built Stripemove.com to solve the headache of migrating Stripe accounts when changing company locations. Frustrated by manual processes and high-priced services, felphos and a developer friend created a tool to automate the migration of products, prices, coupons, and subscriptions. Stripemove aims to handle technical complexities, allowing businesses to continue operations during the transfer and switch over seamlessly.
The Hacker News thread discusses pricing, trademark concerns, and potential issues with Stripe's API. Commenters suggest increasing prices to reflect the critical value provided and targeting B2B clients. Others warn about using "Stripe" in the name due to trademark issues. Concerns are raised about data privacy, and felphos assures that no customer data is stored. Some users share their migration nightmares and the need for Stripe to offer a native migration solution.
