Migrate eligible volume to mandated confirmation flow
A mandated change can be clear in intent while risky in the ways customers have built around it.
Teams must meet an external requirement without treating migration coverage as proof that real workflows remain intact.
“We can migrate, but if confirmation lands differently, our sellers could ship at the wrong moment.”

What pulls against what
- deadline compliance vs. merchant continuity
- migration coverage vs. verified workflow safety
- standardization vs. custom integration behavior
- release speed vs. auditable confidence
What is at stake
A fixed compliance deadline requires a one-way migration decision. Coverage is not enough if custom merchant workflows fail after buyers pay
Why Stripe
At Stripe, this matters because payment changes often pass through many merchant integrations before reaching a buyer.

This is the setup. The work is inside.
Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
