Stripe partners with Parse to ease accepting payments in mobile apps
- brettcvz 14y agoToday seems to be the day for YC developer tools partnerships. Anything from Meteor and Firebase?
- anonfunction 14y agoTo compete with Square I assume?
- anonfunction 14y agoApparently I was mistaken, from another thread here on HN a stripe employee wrote: As for Square, they're for in-store transactions. We're not targeting that segment at all. Link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5417427 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5417427
- 3am 14y agoThis is an interesting approach at empire building, Mr. Graham. Extremely belated congrats to Mr. Lacker on being a double Putnam fellow... that has piqued my interest in your company more than any marketing effort could have :)
- theunquietone 14y agoMr. Lacker being a double Putnam fellow is part of the reason this marketer joined Parse so that detail in itself is somewhat of a marketing effort. I am amazed and humbled everyday by the intelligence of the Parse team.
- csmajorfive 14y agoMr. Lacker being a double Putnam Fellow is part of the reason I chose to team up to build Parse with him. Also he shares my love for burritos. We're hiring: https://parse.com/jobs https://parse.com/jobs
- joshgrenon 14y agoMr. Lacker for President!!
- HectorRamos 14y agoMr. Lacker being a double Putnam fellow is part of the reason I moved 3,619 miles to join Parse. Also his beard is dapper.
- depoll 14y agoMr. Lacker being a double Putnam Fellow (along with various other intellectual accolades on the team) is a big part of why I love working at Parse. Also, he's really good at raising one eyebrow.
- Madness64 14y agoMr. Lacker being a double Putnam Fellow is part of the reason I moved 8,956 km to join Parse. Also, he teaches me the American culture.
- mattieuga 14y agoMr. Lacker being a double Putnam fellow is the reason I moved from Canada eh!
- jamesjyu 14y agoMr. Lacker being a double Putnam Fellow is also the reason I teamed up with him to build Parse. Also, he shares my love for sushiritto. :)
- gfosco 14y agoIs Mr. Lacker being a double Putnam Fellow a big reason why I joined Parse? That's a great question...

- tejaswiy 14y agoWouldn't this violate app store rules? I was under the impression that the Kindle app almost got banned for this.
- olivercameron 14y agoAs long as it's for purchasing goods that are outside of your app, then it's fine. You couldn't use this for buying virtual coins, but you could for ordering an Uber.
- hboon 14y agoPhysical vs. virtual goods. In fact, Apple specifically doesn't let you sell physical goods with IAP. As for virtual goods that aren't tied to your app (referring to olivercameron's sibling comment), I don't think that's so clear cut.
- jrnkntl 14y agoUS and Canada only... just saying because it's mentioned nowhere in the article.
- dot 14y agoThis is fantastic. I hope Apple eventually adds an icon to the status bar that signifies a secure connection. I'm always a little nervous putting my cc number in to an app.
