Responsibility shift

One route changes more than the software.

Stripe Billing is a billing layer used while your business remains the merchant. Moving to it from an MoR means your business must deliberately replace indirect-tax filing and remittance, transaction support, dispute operations, and other seller obligations. Moving the other way transfers only the responsibilities covered by the destination's contract and eligible transaction model.
