> Just switch to a different merchant.

Yes because that is so simple and there are so many competitors that provide the same level of service /s. Also there is no guarantee anyone else in this space is better than Stripe (when it comes to customer service). I can tell you the company I attempted to switch to had terrible docs, a bad API, horrible support, oh, and their shit just didn't work randomly. This is not clear-cut or simple.

Middleman, aka providing a platform that uses payments? That's what we are calling a "middleman" now?
