Stripe launches T600 hardware reader at $329, joining M2, S710, S700 lineup
What happened
Between the Aug 27, 2026 and Aug 28, 2026 captures of Stripe's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: New Stripe Reader T600 hardware card reader added to the Terminal card readers lineup, priced at $329.00, alongside existing M2 ($59), S710 ($299), and S700 ($299) readers. Pulse files it as a packaging change (new add-on) with an upward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 19, 2026) lists Standard at 1.5% surcharge for international cards + $0.3 per successful transaction.
It lands one day after Stripe's previous change, "Stripe kills Metronome Startup's included allotment, adds Data export pricing" (Aug 27, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Stripe: Radar restructured to Pay Monthly/Pay As You Go plans + Radar Lite" (Aug 4, 2026), "Stripe: Meters API footnote now discloses 100M events/month quota" (Jul 20, 2026) and "Stripe: Meters API basic billing now includes up to 100M events/month" (Jul 16, 2026). Stripe has been tracked since 2023-11-14.
