I wonder if Stripe is planning to launch in New Zealand any time soon - it's very close to Australia :) I'm really keen to stop relying on Paypal for accepting payments.
The currency support that hit the AU beta a month or two ago was the big one for me, but the low rate (1.75% + 30c for Australian cards) is a nice touch for those who might normally smash their heads against a bank's merchant API, PayPal or someone like eWay (who I don't have nice thoughts about).
Finally! Where I work we're already discussing moving every (all 6 of them) project that we're working on at the moment over to Stripe. I'm so happy, this was a great start to my Tuesday morning!
fantastic news! I just finished a Stripe integration a day or two ago. Everything I had heard about stripe was true. I've done eWay, PIN and now Stripe integration and Stripe is hands down the easiest to get up and running.<p>Subscriptions in particular are very well designed. Their documentation is outstanding. I was up and running with a multi-tiered subscription setup in 1 day. The checkout flow is particularly awesome.
For the uninitiated, is there benefit in using Stripe (etc) over a bank merchant facility, when your business is already transacting $80,000+ per month?<p>Working with an Australian client at the moment about moving more sales online - I don't want to hold back information about other payment processors, but can't see any benefit over their existing bank facilities. What am I missing?
Great to see you guys coming to Asia-Pacific.<p>Can some Stripers on this thread give an estimate as to when Stripe will come to Hong Kong or Singapore?<p>I am bootstrapping a side project with a colleague and literally the only reason to even consider a UK partnership over a Singapore or Hong Kong one is that we want to use Stripe (or whatever clone gets there first).
This is fantastic! We've recently gotten a bank's merchant account and eWay as a gateway, but I've been impressed with neither. I'm so glad that Stripe is now available here.
Someone needs to fix payment culture in Australia and also in Europe. Going to the bar with a large group of people and either paying with:<p>A) A pocket full of coins<p>B) A card but only being allowed to pay with one or two for your whole group, is just straight up silly.<p>Situation B happened to me a million times while I was down there for a year and it's just an annoyance, and carrying a kilo in coins is no fun either. I actually submitted a suggestion to ANZ for them to make some sort of group payment option for restaurants but heard nothing back and couldn't pursue. Hopefully someone can make something easy with Stripe.
