And I'd rather have 1% go to Stripe than 3% to your bank.
While 1% isn't a lot, I doubt anyone would rather have that go to Stripe than to cowtool
As an example with real numbers, if you sent $10 CAD right now, I would probably receive around $7.30 USD, and your US card would be charged around $7.37. Or you could just send $7.37 USD, and cowtool would get the extra 7 cents, at no additional cost to you.
(But again, if you're using a Canadian card that charges a forex fee, use the CAD option)
Hi,
