>Considering that Stripe's original selling point was that it let websites accept credit card payments without seeing your credit card number
I thought that Stripe's original selling point was that you could easily accept payments online without having to integrate with complicated bank and payment processor tech.
As I understood it at the time, alternatives required PCI compliance, which Stripe allowed you to sidestep thanks to tokenization, so I do believe that was a selling point. But this is besides the point I'm making, so I've edited my comment.
