To my dismay I just discovered this myself! @stripe 1. 2.9% + $0.30 for the transaction 2. 2% foreign currency conversion fee (95% of our transactions are not in our currency CAD) 3. O.8% foreign card fee (again 95% foreign) 4. 0.7% for subscriptions (Stripe Billing) So that's 6.4% + 0.30
Matt Welter@mattwelter

stripe is actually 7% after all their hidden fees their 2.9% + $0.30 fee has never been the case for over a year now literally ask anyone using stripe

@levelsio Wouldn't any other channel other than sales people make more sense? Seo, Google ads, Facebook ads, App marketplaces, reddit ads, mobile app stores, etc

Had to ELI5 it Why B2B to SMBs is so hard
@levelsio tweet media@levelsio tweet media@levelsio tweet media
TBPN@tbpn

“When you go from consumer to B2B, the number one mega-challenge that you must master is LTV:CAC.” - @travisk "Yes, you can make that argument on consumer, but when you have a sales funnel that starts with 'I'm going to talk to customers, and I have to make LTV:CAC work' — versus 'My LTV:CAC is the App Store' — it's a whole different ballgame." “LTV:CAC with a sales machine, especially if you go [after] small businesses, is life on hard mode. Anybody who’s crushed it on SMB, those guys are special individuals who've made that happen. Because life in the SMB B2B world is no joke."

Super frustrating, according to @intercom Fin.AI "If your Fin Guidance doesn't specifically instruct it to avoid repetition or recognize loops, it'll keep providing the same answers."

@OnTheSnow Are your snow reports inaccurate? You're showing 0cm snow for Whistler, but they report 14cm in the last 48hrs

@elfster custom wishes seem broken, after adding a custom wish with a valid link, it always says `This link is not valid` when I click on them

@ServiceCanada_E That seems very misleading! Why say the office is closed when its clearly open?

@alexblackca 1/ Hi Alex. Our phone lines and offices are open today. Our call centres recognize the number (area code) you’re calling from and not the region. If you’ve been calling from a number that belongs to another province, it could result in a closed message.

@ServiceCanada_E I called 1‑800‑567‑6868 just now, and it says you're closed...? But your recording says you are open 8:30-5pm in newfoundland, where its currently 12:47pm?

@boltdotnew @v0 5/ But @Replit didn't add scripts to package.json, instead it wrote something to parse and update package.json. I asked it to convert all files to TS, but it only converted some, and didn't add a build command. Its just a mess.

@boltdotnew @v0 4/ I had high hopes for replit. It got something going in JS, but it kept connecting to a Neon db I didn't need, so after some back and forth and a few attempts it figured out how to connect to my database. I asked it to add scripts to package.json for basic stuff like running.

1/ I'm trying out some of these AI tools to build a simple CLI tool to call a 3rd party API and check status in a postgres db, and its been an exercise in frustration so far.

We also have open tickets with Intercom to fix basic stuff like Fin repeatedly telling users the same thing over and over, and Fin closing conversations part way through because it suddenly decides they are spam, and Fin failing to escalate to a human when asked

I feel like @eoghan might just be saying this... Our resolution rate with Intercom is 50.7%, according to Intercom reports (way below 65%) and many of those "resolved" tickets we've had to intervene on and rescue, and Intercom still is happy to charge us for those :(
Emad@EMostaque

If @intercom’s agents don’t give you a 65% success rate on resolving queries they’ll pay you $1 million 👀

@EquipFoods Your tracking links in the emails are broken, and your support teams say that you do not care to fix them. Seems like terrible support. Also they're unwilling to cancel an order I placed 3 hours ago.

You are born. You stare at a small square of glass, full of flashing lights, for 80 years. You find this deeply entertaining. You die.
