Credit card usage is somewhat lower in Germany (though by a smaller margin than people think), and we considered holding off 'till we had a better answer to this. But we thought about it more, and talked to a bunch of German companies, and realized that a lot of German users want to sell to a global market in the very same way that, say, an American company would -- there isn't necessarily a tight coupling between the geography of your customers and the geography of your business. (This is what's great about the internet!) Travis CI is a good example here.
Seen this way, we figured it made sense to bring the capabilities that US users have today to Germany as quickly as we could.
- Concours 13y agoThank you guys/girls, we have being waiting for this for a while now, we almost went with Paymill , so this is some awesome news. What's the issue with being able to accept Dollars only with a US Bank account, would you fix this after the beta or is it supposed to stay like this? ...or have I misunderstood something?
- k__ 13y agoHm yes, to sell stuff "from" Germany to the rest of the World this would be pretty nice :)
- WA 13y agoI just signed up for PayMill yesterday, but didn't send them the paperwork yet. I might as well sign up for Stripe then.
- pc 13y agoLet me know if you need an invite -- patrick@stripe.com.
- psteinweber 13y agoSame here, the paperwork will be left undone as it looks...!
- danmaz74 13y agoKudos for this choice. Internet businesses are often naturally international.
