Tl;dr: we work with a bank to do this; we do lots of checks; and you're required to verify the identity of the recipients. See https://stripe.com/docs/tutorials/sending-transfers#verifyin... for more info.

(I work at Stripe.) With Stripe Connect, your users have to have Stripe accounts. This makes sense for, say, Squarespace, where their users are likely to want to manage the business themselves: logging in to their Stripe account, watching t

(I work at Stripe.) We've thought about closing HTTP access in the past. As with a lot of security, it's a usability trade-off. We work hard to make sure that people only ever access Stripe over HTTPS. Most people use the Stripe API through

(I work at Stripe.) Yep, we include such a warning in the docs: https://stripe.com/docs/mobile/ios . As for Square, they're for in-store transactions. We're not targeting that segment at all.

Yeah, Michael and Ben will still be maintaining Kickoff. There's some precedent here: before Saikat and Sheena joined Stripe about two years ago, they'd previously been working on Mockingbird ( http://gomockingbird.com ). Since then, they'v

Honestly, I just don't really like the self-aggrandizing ring of "I'm CEO and cofounder". And I don't think it's particularly relevant most of the time. Yes, I'm a cofounder, but the important part is that I work at Stripe—alongside many ot

(I work at Stripe, and I'm the author of the tweet cited in the article.) The visual design and structural layout of the documentation is certainly not of Stripe's creation. That's all Jeremy Ashkenas. He gave us permission to riff on it a

Feel free to email! That way you'll definitely get invited when we launch fully. With regard to timeframes -- it really depends on what we discover during the beta. There are no major, obvious blockers right now, though.

Yeah, you're right. Though I can see how it'd be kinda annoying for others, we definitely find it really useful to hear about the things people wish Stripe did differently.

We can't say much about timelines since so much is outside of our control, but we definitely want to launch in France.

(I work at Stripe.) As Greg points out in a sibling comment, it's not that we expect people to work on Sunday. We don't. The point is setting a higher threshold for likability than "would you be ok working with this person". Instead, it's

A compromised employee machine will always cause problems. (Just look at Google, the New York Times, etc.) We're obviously careful about what goes in email, and I think the open-by-default policy largely makes the security properties of ema

We help them create their filters when they join. We'll hopefully make this part more streamlined over time.

No problem. The goal is to be general purpose, though, and to that end we just added support for UnionPay, Maestro, and Laser: https://github.com/stripe/jquery.payment/pull/5 .

(I work at Stripe.) Thanks. I don't think these are so much incorrect assumptions so much as things we should change if the world changes. 19-digit IINs are found on UnionPay, Maestro, and other international cards that Stripe doesn't suppo

We make it easy to do card type-specific CVC validation: $.validateCardCVC('1234', 'amex'); More at https://github.com/stripe/jquery.payment .

Hm, that could be pretty cool actually. Especially if we also added a REPL for interactive queries at manage.stripe.com.

We're not short of people who want to work at Stripe, we're short of the bandwidth to identify the best ones. And so we focus on those we know to be good. Some of them live outside the US; some grew up outside the US and now live here; some

"It looks like Stripe has decided hiring foreign workers is the only solution to the problem instead of trying to find another solution." That makes no sense. Hiring people from outside the US is harder, slower, and more expensive than hiri

Yeah, we've had various iterations of this live on the site for a while, though we never announced anything. We renamed it to "Checkout" a few weeks ago.

> it charges the card even if the CVC is not correct Some users want that behavior. But we're rolling out tools that give you the option to decline charges if the CVC fails.

Ah; right, we should change that/add an option to override. Can you email me? patrick@stripe.com.

Yes -- you can change the text of the button in the overlay. See the "panel-label" config option: https://stripe.com/docs/checkout .
