So as a customer of yours who still has to use PayPal because so many Europeans have "bank cards..." What do you recommend? Using both PayPal & Stripe? PayPal is a work around because, for example, a US Stripe account can't take EU "bank cards" (which account for about 1/3 of payments coming from the EU, as I see in Stripe's error logs) or non-US ACH.
- scrollaway 9y ago> a US Stripe account can't take EU "bank cards" Wait, what? What do you mean? I'm not seeing this at all.
- StavrosK 9y agoI think he means countries like the Netherlands, where they have some weird system of non-credit/debit cards.
- pokemongoaway 9y agoYes, like StavrosK said, for anyone who has significant customers outside of the US - there are lots of countries that use various types of "bank cards." Netherlands iDEAL is fairly well-known, but I get lots of customers with Visa & Mastercard "bank cards" in Italy, Germany, etc - all whose payments fail on Stripe (but they try anyway, not realizing theirs is not a typical "credit/debit" card).
- scrollaway 9y agoRight yeah -- that's actually one of my main issues with Stripe right now. Hopefully they add it soon.
