Most people say that we need to use Paypal. But we prefer to work with Stripe for example, because it really looks like a great service and a service with a refreshing way of working with payments.
Does anyone know or have experience with using a recurring service that is accessible for European companies?
What laws stop companies like Stripe, Recurly etc from easily launching in the EU?
However, to use them you need to be able to disable CVV checking using PayPal's "advanced fraud management filters". The same applies for Recurly and other similar services AFAIK.
Unfortunately PayPal wouldn't let us do this as we don't have enough trading history etc... so until we get a merchant account we're having to use PayPal's own recurring billing APIs.
We'd love for there to be a viable alternative to PayPal, Stripe's API looks gorgeous in comparison.
I understand that the rules are different and that most of the banks here are probably old-fashion, but isn't there a way to work around al those problems?
I think the problem is that the companies in Europe have individual rules. America is just one country.
I have not had a chance to try them out, though. Maybe someone has some experience to share?
