Oop, that post was wrong, I was comparing Stripe to Shopify! So we will instead use this to compare Stripe to Shopify.

The way Shopify acquiring is tricking users into saving their payment info is very deceptive.

1. It is enabled by default

A very debatable decision to save payment info by default in the first place.

2. Masking it as a legalese paragraph

Stripe at least uses a noticeable checkmark. Many users learned to read what the checkmarks say and remove them as they see fit.

Shopify has an identical feature, but instead it is a paragraph with a small "Not now" hyperlink to fight this behavior. Doesn't even register as part of the form.
