They just launched in the UK, too. I integrated them in about 2 hours and took a setup fee payment (£1,200) with zero hassle within hours of getting the beta email.<p>Awesome stuff. Best payment provider integration experience I've ever had (and I've had a few).
The email that was sent from stripe<p><i>We're getting in touch because you asked to be notified when Stripe was available in Ireland. Good news: we are up and running in private beta, and we're excited to invite you to take part.<p>As of today, you can accept Visa and MasterCard transactions. You can choose to accept payments denominated in euros, with American Express and US dollar denominated transactions coming soon. All our standard docs and features apply -- jump in at <a href="https://stripe.com/docs.*" rel="nofollow">https://stripe.com/docs.*</a>
So nice to see € there. But I would like to know if they have any roadmap for expanding to other countries. I'm from Spain and about to start a business, and I would love to set up payments with stripe and would like to know if it will be available in my country when we launch. Any information?
Great to see Stripe expanging in Europe!
We at Sellfy (<a href="http://sellfy.com/" rel="nofollow">http://sellfy.com/</a>) just rolled out GPB support for Stripe UK users looking to sell their downloads. I guess the Euros for Ireland are next.
I got my invite last week and integrated it over the weekend, but I need to hold off until I can accept USD.<p>According to John at Stripe "Unfortunately, right now you'd need a US-routable dollar account to accept payments in USD. We're planning on having better native support
for charging USD in the future, but have no timeline on it right now."<p>I'm planning on opening a US bank account when I'm in SF in August, if anyone knows how I can do that from Ireland instead let me know.
Am I the only one who get really tired of the endless copying and imitating of Apple UIs? Look at the picture in the tweet, every single element from the gradient in the switch button, text shadows, color tones of icon and background to the section gradients. Sure, it looks nice, no doubt. But it's so un-original!
I'm in France and interviewed with two payment solutions last week (just coincidence) and ask if they knew about Stripe and its fantastic api & solution and nobody was.<p>I guess Stripe will have to cross the Channel at some point.
