SlidePay (YC W12) Tries To Be The “Android” of Payments

Best of luck - this is exactly what we're looking for. Suggestion: It would be fantastic if we could port existing merchant accounts or (better yet) existing gateways. For example, we're currently using Braintree for web transactions, but would love to use your service for mobile. It would be great if we could continue using our vaulted cards on braintree, but use your service for frontend.

How is this different from Stripe?<p><a href="https://stripe.com/us/help/pricing" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stripe.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;help&#x2F;pricing</a><p>It&#x27;s interesting that the fees are the same for a transaction when a card isn&#x27;t present 2.9% + 30 cents, but 2.5% + 10 cents per transaction when a card is present.<p>I wonder what Stripe&#x27;s response to this will be.

I don&#x27;t get the analogy. SlidePay is the &quot;Android&quot; of payments versus Square as the &quot;Apple&quot; of payments, but the author then goes on to say SlidePay is like a white label version of Square. How is Android a white label version of iOS? How does the analogy help frame this service? Why not just explain what it is and how it&#x27;s different directly?

This is great, I&#x27;ve been searching all over for a white-label Square. Others, like PayAnywhere, have fallen short.

For others researching options for card-present transactions with an API, there&#x27;s also <a href="http://getcardflight.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;getcardflight.com</a><p>They feature a Stripe integration of some sort.

I&#x27;m not sure about the technology or business, but I will say that I absolutely love the interactive sliding graphics on their landing page.

I was just researching rolling my own payment system for an app using the Stripe API and a card reader. Looking forward to trying this out.

well they sure chose one hell of a great name for this pivot to a service catering to physical cc readers. For that alone I am damn impressed right now. Great branding.
