Stripe refreshes terminal lineup: S700 cut 14%, adds S710 and cellular plan
What happened
Between the Feb 16, 2026 and Feb 26, 2026 captures of Stripe's pricing page, Pulse recorded 4 changes: Removed BBPOS WisePOS E card reader ($249.00) from Terminal hardware options; Added Cellular service at $10/month per reader for Terminal card readers [Unlimited cellular data usage on enabled readers; Apps on Device data limited to 10GB per reader per month]; Stripe Reader S700 price decreased 14% ($349→$299); Added Stripe Reader S710 at $299.00 (Excl. VAT) to Terminal hardware options. Pulse files it as a pricing change (feature change, new add-on, price decrease) with a downward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 19, 2026) lists Standard at 1.5% surcharge for international cards + $0.3 per successful transaction.
It lands 13 days after Stripe's previous change, "Stripe launches Managed Payments merchant-of-record at 3.5% per transaction" (Feb 16, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Stripe Simplifies Climate Orders Pricing to Single 3% Rate, Removes Climate Commitments Add-On" (Jan 12, 2026). Stripe has been tracked since 2023-11-14.
In the same window Adyen, Squarespace, Braintreepayments and Aws also changed their Finance & Accounting pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
