Tech antitrust is about to get really weird
This episode of Decoder is brought to you by Stripe. The Internet economy doesn't stay in one place very long. Checking out used to take minutes, not milliseconds. And that's if you could find an online store that could process a credit card transaction. Today, things are a lot more complex.

Tech antitrust is about to get really weird
This episode was brought to you by Stripe. Stripe has played a huge part in driving the digital commerce revolution, and the platform's reliability is a big part of that story. And let's face it, reliability isn't always the sexiest selling point. We like when things work, but usually we only notice when something goes awry.

Tech antitrust is about to get really weird
This episode of Decoder is brought to you by Stripe. Direct-to-consumer brands don't have a ton in common with AI companies. Their consumer bases are totally different, their products are in separate categories, and their business models are usually miles apart. And yet businesses in both of those categories turn to Stripe to help get started and scale globally.
Decoder with Nilay Patel
Tech antitrust is about to get really weird

Why every company wants a podcast now
Support for this episode of Decoder comes exclusively from Stripe. Everyone who owns or runs a business knows that deciding how much to charge your customers and when to do it is complicated. Even when you start with something simple, like charging $50 a month for a phone plan, it gets messy. But this is Decoder, so instead of just saying that, let's game it out.
Decoder with Nilay Patel
Why every company wants a podcast now
This episode of Decoder is brought to you exclusively by Stripe. Okay, we're back. It's time to deploy our pricing strategy. Your phone company charges $50 to start, but you'll almost certainly want to test and eventually deploy new pricing models as your product evolves. If that goes well and you decide to change your rates, you probably don't want to hike everyone's monthly bill overnight.
Decoder with Nilay Patel
Why every company wants a podcast now
You'll keep many existing customers on their old plan. That means that your billing system has to track the entire history of your pricing matrix, running many different versions of your pricing scheme at the same time. And of course, it's not all sunshine and daisies. Your system needs to handle failed payments.
Decoder with Nilay Patel
Why every company wants a podcast now
That requires striking a balance between holding non-paying customers accountable while also protecting hard-won relationships with paying customers whose credit card details occasionally lapse. You'll probably want a customer service team that can view, explain, and modify almost every aspect of a customer's billing state just to be safe. Got all that?

Over the course of this episode, our ads will get into the nitty-gritty of how payments get really complicated really fast. That monthly charge will be different for business users. And both of those numbers will be different for customers living in Ireland and different again for folks in Canada. And don't forget sales tax or VAT. How the heck do you go about implementing those changes?

And what if your hypothetical phone company is a global operation, which means customers in each country will want to pay with their preferred payment methods? Some are push payment methods, like sending a bank transfer. Some are pull, like pulling money from a credit card. Only some of them support recurring payments.
Decoder with Nilay Patel
Why every company wants a podcast now
We've come a long way since the first ad break, and the first time ever, we might actually recommend you go back and take a listen. See the whole journey our imaginary phone company has gone on. All of a sudden, it's easy to see how a seemingly simple proposition, charge $50 a month, gets super complicated for any business operating in the real world. So what's the answer? It's simple. Stripe.

This episode of Decoder is brought to you exclusively by Stripe. Let's go back to our hypothetical phone company. To recap, this phone company needs to charge $50 a month for their plan, but it's not exactly that simple, because even though your business starts with a flat monthly charge, you also bill based on usage.
Decoder with Nilay Patel
Why every company wants a podcast now
International calls might be $2 a minute, international roaming, $10 a day, or extra lines, $10 a month. So now you need a database that tracks usage events and turns them into a comprehensible bill. Oh, and by the way, you're dealing with real people who do real people things like starting or ending plans in the middle of a month. So you'll probably need to manage prorating. Okay, let's recap.
Decoder with Nilay Patel
Why every company wants a podcast now
You're going to need a mix of flat and usage-based billing and a way to keep track of everyone no matter how often they begin and or change plans. There are a lot of potential problems here, so much so that we haven't even gotten to what Stripe does yet, and it's the second ad break. Well, the solution to all your hypothetical woes is coming up next.
