Immature Billing Integration

5/10 Medium

Clerk's billing integration with payment providers exists but remains immature and underdeveloped. The integration adds a markup (0.7%) on top of Stripe charges for minimal value, representing a "shitty feature" that could be coded in seconds.

Query: “What are the most common pain points with Clerk for developers in 2025?”4/7/2026

We also like to see the existing integration with billing, which is great, to be more mature than it is right now. / they are like okay stripe is already a good software. Let's add the fees on top of it... they will charge each of your user 0.7%.
