Awesome! Can't wait until Stripe is launching in Denmark, hopefully soon!

  We actually launched our Danish beta earlier this morning: https://twitter.com/stripe/status/491224812958650370 https://twitter.com/stripe/status/491224812958650370. You can sign up for an invite over at https://stripe.com/global https://stripe.com/global.

    Any plans for NZ? As you can see with the success of EFTPOS here, we have a history of adopting new payment technologies quickly. I personally have an idea that's just waiting for a proper mobile payment system.

    Wow, that's so cool! I was already signed up for the beta, so I'll be crossing my fingers for an invite.

    That is awesome! In a project I'm doing we are currently assessing payment gateways and Stripe comes in as a clear first, but since it wasn't previously available for Denmark we had dumped it. Looks like we might not have to do that now! The alternatives were a bit lacking in Denmark for the kind of payment flow we need. It is reminiscent of the one from Airbnb where the fees are collected in two steps - first from the customer and then for the merchant. We went through Braintree, Paypal, and Paymill among others, but there wasn't a good fit. And it was surprisingly hard to find information about the different payment gateways for a specific country. Really hope we can get access to this beta! How do you draw invites for the beta and do you do the drawing more than once?
