Hi HN readers, we're expanding the PintPay beta and allowing a few more folks to signup. We've added a new beta code for the first 200 hacker news readers. The code is "HN" (no quotes). Thanks!

Looks great, and it's a shame I can't sign up, since I'm in Canada. Is it just the need for a US bank account that's holding me back?

This looks pretty interesting. I was using membrr with opengateway for an expressionengine membership site (which requires a merchant account).

Pintpay looks like a great way to test the waters without needing a merchant account.

Best of luck to you guys!

Our lawyers are looking into the international payments, but the honest answer is that it adds a ton of complication so we're only accepting US merchants at this time. Sorry, but if you email us at feedback@pintpay.com we'll keep you posted about when we intend to support Canadian merchants.

Are you guys PCI compliant?

Good question. From the FAQ:

Do I need to worry about PCI Compliance?

Nope! By using PintPay, you never store credit card information on your servers. In fact, that information isn't stored on our servers either.

If my project was farther along than a gleam in my eye at the moment, I'd consider trying this.

But while I was considering it, one thing I'd wonder about is how serious and long-lived the service will be. There's nothing to indicate that you aren't serious, but I do wonder about this when I see a new service for something important; will the service go away after I (and my customers) have relied on it?

Do others have this general concern? Do you hesitate, or just go for it?

For site owners, do you think about this? How do you convey seriousness on your site?

Guys, net 60 payment on other people's money is absolutely absurd, beta or not. It's obvious you're attempting to bootstrap by using the cashflow of your clients payment processing to grow, but that's not ok in this niche. Raise capital or self fund and do Net 7 max.
