As a European who was disappointed that Stripe isn't in my country yet, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Braintree is every bit as easy to use[1] (took me a half hour to set up a test transaction website), and it's even cheaper than Stripe. (Edit: Seems Braintree's European pricing differs from their US pricing. Braintree's European pricing is 1.8% to 2.6% (everything included) which is considerably cheaper than Stripe).
The only downside I can see is the approval process which in Europe takes 7-10 days.

- apexauk 13y ago(I work at Stripe, based in the UK.) Our pricing in EU countries where we've launched (UK + Ireland) starts at 2.4% + 20p (we've revised pricing for each country when we launch out of beta). We regularly give volume pricing well below 1.8% - so at both ends, considerably cheaper than the range quoted above. Also, which country are you in? Stripe is available in full production-ready beta in France, Germany, Spain, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Sweden and Finland, with more countries in the coming weeks - keep an eye on https://stripe.com/global https://stripe.com/global for updates. You can sign up and start using Stripe to process live transactions instantly in all our beta countries - this is a key requirement for us as we expand globally.
- workhere-io 13y agoI'm in Denmark. Any idea as to when Stripe is coming to Denmark? Will merchants be instantly approved, or does it take several days/weeks?
