@ChadF @adam @dave agree we use Stripe for all our payments. Alby is our legacy partner. We are going to switch from L.402 to X.402 - we will run them in parallel for a while. Again we are reading all the docs and will add support next week but how we then expose that to users and podcasters is something we need to understand before the rollout.
