What other payment processor would you suggest?
- L_226 10y agoStripe
- markdown 10y agoMost of the world can't use Stripe.
- scrollaway 10y agoStripe supports virtually all credit cards as well as alipay and bitcoin. If that's not most of the world, what is?
- sanswork 10y agoMost all end users can use stripe. A lot of businesses can't https://stripe.com/global https://stripe.com/global.
- joshdotsmith 10y agoStripe did introduce Stripe Atlas. Although this doesn't solve the situation totally, it's at least one of a number of helpful steps in the right direction.
- sanswork 10y agoIf you want to register and run a us entity it helps but most people don't want that kind of hassle. I've done it from Canada and Australia and unless youre planning on getting us investors is probably not a good idea. Though I haven't accepted my atlas invite yet so not sure how much better it'd be.
- markdown 10y agoThat only works for a tiny proportion of Silicon Valley-like startups.
- Tarq0n 10y agoCredit card use is highly uncommon in large parts of Europe.
- jamiethompson 10y agoReally?
- wichert 10y agoFor payments using direct bank transfers tends to be the standard approach in the EU, certainly for national payments.
- jamiethompson 10y agoSure, but that's not what we're talking about here. For those kind of payments, in the US they still tend to use cheques. For buying stuff from shops or online, we use cards, just like anywhere else, no?
- wichert 10y agoIf you mean you use credit cards for buying stuff online, then no: that is not what we do here. I'm not sure about all of the EU, but at least in NL the majority of online transactions use payments directly with your normal checking account at your bank using a system called iDeal (see https://www.ideal.nl/en/ https://www.ideal.nl/en/ ).
- scrollaway 10y agoStripe supports iDeal btw.

- jamiethompson 10y agoCrazy. I stand corrected. In the UK we just use credit and debit cards for everything. But then, we're not really representative of the rest of Europe I guess. Even less so nowadays :(
- thepoet 10y agoStripe can ask you to shutdown a legitimate product if they get bullied from some other larger organisation. It happened with us and we lost the respect we had for Stripe.
- Hengjie 10y agoCan you explain your situation a bit more?
- intrasight 10y agoI use Authorize.net. I also use Stripe. And I mostly like sending customers an invoice via Quickbooks. https://quickbooks.intuit.com/payments/ https://quickbooks.intuit.com/payments/
