This is cool, but the money has to be charged via credit card first right? It would be nice to transfer money from the bank account linked to stripe to another account, and as a user of Stripe's connect API, it would be nice to enable this in our apps for our users.
Even cooler would be full blown ACH. We are working with ACH providers now and what a stark contrast to the beauty of stripe. All require some form of monthly fee, paper set-up forms with 1-2 week delays (vetting periods) and API's from the 90's
- amfeng 13y ago(I work at Stripe.) Right. Those are both things that are on our product roadmap. (:
- troyk 13y agoFree hugs and kisses from me when you guys roll it out (really gets my cofounder motivated, so thought I'd try it here!)
- JshWright 13y agoOn an only moderately related note... here are two more things that I would love to see on the roadmap: 1) Better support for disputes in the API (right now to get all our disputes, we have to pull _all_ charges and walk them...) 2) The ability to generate test disputes. You guys provide an awesome test API, but there's no way to generate disputed charges in testing, so I can't test any of that functionality...
- amfeng 13y ago1) You should be able to pass in "disputed=true" to the charge listing call: GET https://api.stripe.com/v1/charges?disputed=true https://api.stripe.com/v1/charges?disputed=true 2) Definitely. We'll keep that in mind!
- JshWright 13y agoAh, the folks in your IRC channel (and your docs) didn't know that one... Awesome, thank you!
- johne20 13y agoI too would love to be able to accept ACH payments. Our customer base is currently organizations that are happy to pay via ACH, but CC is not usually good option. (B2B)
- netvarun 13y agoYou could checkout Balanced Payments (https://balancedpayments.com/ https://balancedpayments.com/) - a YC company that does ACH.
- troyk 13y agoLast time I checked they didn't do ACH, and were doing basically what stripe released today.
- johne20 13y agoI originally thought the same too, but found that it is in Beta. http://blog.balancedpayments.com/balanced-payment-method-pay-with-bank-ach/ http://blog.balancedpayments.com/balanced-payment-method-pay...
- zende 13y agoThe Balanced Payouts service has been available for some time. Our ACH Debit (pay with bank account) is in Beta however.
- swanify 13y agoTaking over this thread talking about your service is pretty awful - surely you can announce your features in your own right rather than riding on the back of Stripe's name?
- zende 13y agoI completely agree. I apologize if it came off that way. We launched payouts in February: http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/14/balanced-payments-ach-api-omg/ http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/14/balanced-payments-ach-api-o...
- erikpukinskis 13y agoFor another opinion, I'm a Stripe customer, and I really appreciate Balanced talking about their product in this thread. They're not trashing Stripe, they're just talking about the differences between the products. It seems cordial and I would rather read about the two products together than in some later thread I'll probably miss.
- uptown 13y agoI think Dwolla offers what you want, don't they?
