Want to drop me an email? patrick@stripe.com. Would be happy to describe our thinking and see if we can help out with your startup. (Also -- we're now 85 people and have companies like Rackspace and Hubspot using Stripe in case that he

This post is inaccurate. (Check out Darragh's response in the comments.) It's also worth noting that 1) Stripe and its processes are audited every year (we're a PCI-certified service provider), and 2) that MasterCard has actu

Hm, it looks like that support forum answer needs to be updated -- we actually support filling out PCI SAQs right from our dashboard (and automatically ask users to do so). We'll go update it. Also, if you'd like to drop me an ema

We definitely will. (Sorry we don't have a timeline, though.)

Stripe cofounder here. As this news breaks, I want to say thanks to the HN community. Stripe is in large part the result of the feedback and advice we've received here since we launched on HN back in Sept 2011 -- https://new

I used FOBO to sell a bunch of stuff I'd had lying around for ages. It worked great. Highly recommended.

Right; we've gone back-and-forth on how best to implement our volume pricing. The upside of a clear pricing matrix is that it's clear. The downside is that it's conservative -- we can (and do) give lower pricing than what w

Well, it's a tough balance, and much of it can't be expedited just by applying more manpower -- beyond mythical man month considerations, there's also the fact that we're often waiting on other partners. Given that, work

When we were starting out, John and I described Stripe to each other as "Slicehost for payments".
