After six years, I’m proud to say that Metronome is now moving to the big leagues! We’ve signed a definitive agreement to become a part of Stripe Metronome isn’t going away - we’re just gonna scale way, way, way up with all the resources and amazing talent that Stripe has to

For years @patrickc + @collision told me "You should add @link, it'll increase your conversion rate" I always figured Link was only useful for consumer-y impulse buys, not Serious Business Stuff™️ But...TL;DR: we added @link and it increased our conversion rate. Lesson learned
It shouldn’t be surprising that conversion goes up when you reduce friction: Adding @stripe Link to @intercom's main checkout flow has increased conversion by 5.4%! We’re excited to add more payment options soon for our customers and for our business.
