Great to see the acceleration of roll out of counties ! DE does have lower CC usage, but I think it will be more use for DE businesses operating internationally to accept in EUR & USD.
btw. I threw together a handy tool for calculating the cost of a transaction. http://www.blackdog.ie/stripe/ http://www.blackdog.ie/stripe/
edit : clarity
- philjr 13y agoCompletely off-topic - but why does a consultancy company in Munich have a .ie domain? :-)
- annnnd 13y agoGuessing: "black doggie"?
- blackdogie 13y agoBecause I'm Irish.
- contergan 13y agoGood .de or .com domains are not exactly easy to get these days without paying ridiculous amounts of money to some domain squatter...
- deskpro 13y agoNice calculator; but it misses the currency conversion costs. You can't get $9.46 as a UK merchant - you get paid in £GBP and they add another 2% from mid-market rate - so $9.27 would be more accurate.
- blackdogie 13y agoThanks. Stripe.com says Charges made in a currency for which you haven't connected a bank account will be converted to your default currency. A 2% fee applies for currency conversion, and all fees are calculated in the currency we transfer to you. So you can avoid it by having an USD / EUR account. Or you have to pay this 2% fee. I will add a note to the page.
- deskpro 13y agoNot really; they only send USD via ACH currently (don't support wire transfer) so as a UK merchant there is no way to actually get paid $USD even if you have a $USD bank account.
