Does anyone know why the link has changed from TNW (<a href="http://thenextweb.com/uk/2013/03/01/stripe-uk-europe-launch/" rel="nofollow">http://thenextweb.com/uk/2013/03/01/stripe-uk-europe-launch/</a>) to TechCrunch?<p>It's not really important, just curious if this is some kind of mod preference for TC? :)
Have been waiting a long time for this :)<p>When announcing it onstage Patrick said anyone interested in participating in the beta should email him:<p><pre><code> patrick [at] stripe [dot] com
</code></pre>
I hope he's ready for the email deluge !
I'm starting to hate Stripe threads because all it becomes is people complaining it's not available in their country.<p>And of course people complaining about people complaining about it not being available in their country.
"Article 49 of the Treaty on the functioning of the EU (the freedom of establishment principle) allows entrepreneurs to set up a company in any EU country."<p><a href="http://europa.eu/youreurope/business/starting-business/setting-up/index_en.htm" rel="nofollow">http://europa.eu/youreurope/business/starting-business/setti...</a><p>Also, "Any business legally established in an EU country may open a secondary establishment (office, agency, branch or subsidiary) in another EU country."<p><a href="http://europa.eu/youreurope/business/expanding-business/opening-branch/index_en.htm" rel="nofollow">http://europa.eu/youreurope/business/expanding-business/open...</a><p>Now, someone should set up a web service which makes it easy for EU citizens to incorporate in the UK.
Today is a watershed moment for UK developers. I don't think it's hyperbole to say that. In a few years, we will look back on our lives before this day and wonder<p>a) Why the hell we put up with all that crap for so long.
b) Why didn't we build Stripe ourselves.
Does it support Verified by Visa or Mastercard SecureCode? Not that I like them much, but they provide some protection for merchants against chargebacks.
I was wondering why Paypal were phoning me up a lot recently to see how I was doing and if I needed any help with anything!<p>We're lucky enough to be on the Beta, can't wait to dig in and start the transition.
Awesome news!<p>Is it possible to use Stripe to handle third party payments? E.g. A site owner (A) creates a website. A user (B) of that site wants to sell a product. (B) creates a product page and accept payments from their own customers (C). Ideally (C) would pay (B) using Stripe, and (A) would receive a percentage of the revenue received from (C).
stripe should launch in India, I'm more than ready to help out with that. The market here, for stripe is huge! A lot of alternatives exist, but all of them frankly su%k!
Out of interest what makes Stripe compelling over other alternatives such as Sagepay?<p>This seemed to be an already solved problem ([company like sagepay] -> merchant account -> bank account) but there's a lot of fanfair here so I must not be understanding what makes Stripe different.
I'd like to give a shout out to the guys from Paymill (www.paymill.com) - they sponsor the HNLondon events and when Patrick from Stripe turned up a few nights ago they were the ones that asked him to get on stage and give a quick talk, despite the obvious overlap of their products.
This is great news for UK businesses, welcome to our wonderfully miserably cold shores Stripe.<p>Although, you know it's much nicer up North outside London. Much nicer.
