What pulls against what
- network compliance vs. recurring-payment continuity
- validated evidence vs. apparent coverage
- strict cutoff vs. sequenced migration
- deadline certainty vs. merchant implementation capacity
What is at stake
A fixed enforcement date leaves limited room for partial readiness. The program must protect recurring payment continuity while proving transaction data is compliant
Why Stripe
At Stripe, payment-network changes can require coordinated action across transaction systems and merchant workflows.
