I might be oversimplifying but when you pay with a US card at a European Stripe Merchant, the acquirer they use locally will show up at your US Bank as "foreign", and this will trigger all sorts of things at the fraud/compliance level.

Stripe offers Atlas so you can "easily" open a US Stripe account and serve your US customers from there, but wouldn't it be great if Stripe did that for you automatically?
