At the bottom they lay out the charges. All of us can do the arithmetic, but their example works out to 6.4% of a $20 sale!<p>And of course once you back out the overhead and direct costs of selling, the amount of your potential profit that eats up is some multiple of that.<p>They charge 2.9% + $0.30, and then 2%.<p>Stripe charges 2.9% + $0.30.<p>So they are approximately 65-70% (2/2.9 = 0.69) more expensive, depending on your average charge.

The word "forge" seems to me an odd choice for a company that deals in finance. Three of us here independently saw negative connotations when it comes to money, security, trust, etc. but nobody else has brought it up yet so perhaps it's just us. Best of luck to them.

A few points:<p>Why is this different (in a worthwhile way) from existing payment options? Like Stripe?<p>What else can you cite that Paypal does wrongly <i>that you can implement correctly</i>?<p>I don't mean to be critical, just asking hard questions. "Taking on" big companies like Paypal has been a de facto way to bring attention to projects since the early 2000s, but it's hard to actually achieve that level of eminence and market share. Being good isn't enough.

Are you guys doing the exact same thing as Stripe Checkout? <a href="https://stripe.com/docs/checkout" rel="nofollow">https://stripe.com/docs/checkout</a>

Yet another Payment processor which doesn't work outside of USA/Canada. I hate being in Europe.

Stripe is going to be a tough organization to compete with. I wish you the best of luck.
