What changed
Stripe Reader T600 ($329.00) was removed from the Card readers lineup, leaving only the M2 ($59.00), S710 ($299.00), and S700 ($299.00) readers.
Why it matters
Watch for whether Stripe cites a reason or quietly lets the SKU disappear — a reader pulled this fast more plausibly points to a supply, compliance, or hardware defect issue than a pricing strategy shift, and a replacement SKU at a similar price point would confirm that read.
In context
The T600'\''s removal is notable mainly for its speed: Stripe launched the reader at $329 on Aug 28 and pulled it just 27 days later, far faster than its own typical ~57-day gap between pricing changes and its usual habit of removals standing for roughly a year, as with January'\''s Climate Commitments removal. Add-on removals are uncommon across the index — only 0.7% of tracked changes in the last six months, against far more common moves like Peel'\''s price cut or Prismic'\''s add-on discontinuation this same week. A hardware SKU pulled this fast more plausibly reflects a supply or compliance issue than a pricing strategy change.
