Yes, but the costs are still the same. Even stripe has a 2.9% + 30¢ cost per transaction.

Better write something worth the money then.

Stripe doesn't bill the end-user these fees. In many US states, it would be illegal to do such as well.

I'd feel more comfortable with a Stripe branded off-site transaction if that's the case. Get that credit card field off of the seedy untrusted site.

But to users it looks like you're giving your CC info to a random website. I'd prefer being redirected to a trusted payment processor.
