What's the payment threshold? I assume you're paying 2.9% and $0.30 (or around there) for the transaction. You charge that to the customer but what if their bill is $0.01, are you really going to make them pay $0.32 for $0.01 of usage? How do you expect SaaS providers to communicate that on their pricing page? If they charge $0.01 per request and the end-user makes 100 requests their bill is actually $1.33 which means the actual per-request charge is $0.0133.
Several years ago Stripe offered more favorable pricing for small transactions but it's my understanding that that pricing is no longer available to new Stripe businesses.
If a customer's balance is under $1 at the end of the month, we delay charging them for up to 60 days and send email reminders. If it's still under $1 after 60 days, we charge at least $0.50 and credit the difference (after fees) to their account for future use.
