Stripe Checkout in more languages
- harisenbon 11y agoYAY! Japanese support for Stripe. Unfortunately, I found a few issues: http://imgur.com/vZbheUP http://imgur.com/vZbheUP 1) The Zip-Code lookup is GREAT, except it looks up the town name, not the 都道府県 (prefecture) like it should. 2) The prefecture is in english, not Japanese 3) The Country names are also in english, not Japanese 4) Was hoping to see auto-kana support for Japanese names: https://github.com/harisenbon/autokana https://github.com/harisenbon/autokana ;) Overall, looks amazing, and awesome that you're getting ready for a full launch in Japan. * Running in IE11 on Windows 7 (Japanese)
- joaq 11y agoCan't wait for Stripe to be available in more countries.
- nemoniac 11y agoCan't wait for Stripe to be available in more countries without having to have a US bank account to set it up.
- matthewarkin 11y agoYou only need a US bank account to open a US Stripe account, other countries don't require a US bank account
- historian1066 11y agoYou need a US bank account to receive transfers in USD. It will be great when Stripe allows non-US companies to receive USD without requiring conversion to another currency.
- matthewarkin 11y agoIt depends on the country, Canadian Stripe accounts support USD denominated Canadian bank accounts.
- bmorgandavis 11y agowooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- paublyrne 11y agoIts hard not to like Stripe as a company.
- gravanom 11y agoThey seem to represent everything right in the field of payment processing, and their office vibe is extremely chill-- I just got rejected for a job there after a few weeks of really promising interviews, and I've gotta say it stings a lot to be told you don't fit in a company full of cool people.
- brianwawok 11y agohow would you feel if you get rejected from a company of douches?
- reviseddamage 11y agoprobably not worse.
- brianwawok 11y ago"Am I too douchey for this douchey company" or "Am I not douchey enough for this douchey company"
- Guyag 11y agoNot a fan of their support, or rather lack thereof.
- gkop 11y agoJust curious: Is it on Stripe's roadmap to provide an inline version of Checkout, IE an option to get a form in an iframe, instead of the modal?
- clintonb 11y agoWhat would be the benefit of that?
- gkop 11y agoIn as much as Stripe allows you to customize the colors of the Checkout modal and add your company logo, Checkout helps create a smooth, trusted, "first-party-ish" experience. The modal behavior however detracts from this quality - it hints to the customer that a third-party is involved. On my most recent project, feedback from users to this effect caused me to go and make my own form using stripe.js instead (pretty easy :) but means giving up the benefit of Checkout's thoroughly thought-out, always-getting-better, broadly-tested UX :( ). I have also observed others asking for an inline version of Checkout in #stripe on freenode. Edit: also I was doing some digging on the subject, and there is an opinion (not condoned by Stripe) that Checkout is "more PCI-compliant" than Stripe.js because the iframe is sourced to Stripe, and Stripe is PCI-audited. Therefore having an inline option for Checkout might please folks wanting the inline UX without giving up the potential upside of Checkout with regard to PCI-compliance.
- clintonb 11y agoI've only used Stripe for about a month. Stripe.js seems like the right solution in this case; but, I'm curious to know how the UX is improving. Aside from the addition of payment providers (e.g. Alipay), the UI/UX doesn't seem to change much. I don't really see anyone making drastic changes to payment forms.

- ilikerashers 11y agoHow is this news? Is it 2004? I meet industry sales people who are baffled why some companies insist on Stripe despite the cost. HackerNews promotion is clearly a powerful force.
- nathancahill 11y agoEasy. Because they focus on developers. "Hacker News promotion" (a community of developers) is a side effect of that, not the other way around.
- ilikerashers 11y agoBut.. Payments is more than about developers. It's the finance people that reconcile, the budget that pays for it's transaction fees, the customer support when a transaction goes wrong. My point is ease-of-integration is just one part and for large companies, an insignificant part. Sometimes this feels lost and it's all "wahey, JSON API".
- andreasklinger 11y agoi had horrible experiences with an "industry standard and cheaper provider" i once spend several hours in a cusomer care help center of my payment provider to figure out why and how they broke our checkout. this was in the middle of the night obviously because of timezones and the people on the other end where non-technical. not saying this couldnt happen w/ stripe or that my payment provider was the best alternative (it was before stripe existed and was a european provider) but still… i agree w/ you that payment providers are more than JSON API but from my perception stripe does a good job in those areas as well
- nathancahill 11y agoYou've never integrated an old-school payments API have you? Integration is not insignificant. Having spent developer/weeks wrangling XML (I'm looking at you authorize.net), being able to do the same in an afternoon is life changing. Now, I'm a loyal customer and recommend them to everyone. Sure, they cost more, but it's worth it.
- strachsel 11y agoThis helps so many users around the world trust the e-commerce websites on a whole new level. Hopefully you'll start expanding to more countries soon without limits on bank accounts, particularly Eastern European region.
