(I work at Stripe) PayPal actually starts at 2.9% + $0.30 and charges a variety of add-on fees which you didn't include in your assessment: $30 per month if you want to design and host your own checkout pages, 1% cross-border surcharge

(I work at Stripe) For a more detailed cost comparison with PayPal: Stripe's pricing starts at 2.4% + £0.20 per transaction + VAT. Stripe charges 2% for foreign conversions (i.e. charging in EUR, when you want to be paid out in GBP). P

You mentioned the use case of shopping carts with our API for charging and transfers. I'm assuming you have a use case of a customer making a purchase from several different sellers and then needing to pay those sellers out after the t

(I work at Stripe) If you're looking to split payments to multiple parties, you may want to take a look at sending transfers, rather than using Connect: https://stripe.com/blog/send-payouts-with-stripe This only r

Agreed, this is not solely for recruiting women, but also for building a team that is more accepting of diversity in general. Note this video of a messy hackerhouse: http://techcrunch.com/2011/05/04/tc-cribs-likealittle-lal/ Not a single
