> they are trying to help with the registration process I thought they were friendly and helpful, and enjoyed talking to their support staff. But I couldn't get my account activated, because of a HUGE amount of bureaucracy involved and the process takes at least 8 weeks(!). With stripe, there's no help needed in the registration or activation process. I activated my account literally within 5 minutes of signing up. I wrote a blog post about this, comparing lots of providers I was trying to activate collecting payments with in the last few months - in case anyone's interested - http://blog.gingerlime.com/2014/cutting-through-red-tape-with-stripe/ http://blog.gingerlime.com/2014/cutting-through-red-tape-wit...
