Every merchant agreement I've ever seen doesn't allow you to charge payments for third parties. This is to prevent fraud at a minimum, and I am sure there are myriad other reasons. I wonder if they arranged special terms with the merchant gateways or if they are just trying to fly under the radar? There's gotta be a reason no one has done this 100x before...
We'd also like to add CNAME support so you could have pro.yoursite.com show the payment page you make on PintPay. We're also working on an api and webhook / URL postback for info about changes/notifications/cancellations on subscriptions. A lot still to do during the beta!
Thanks!
Also, no matter what the answer is, it should be in large lettering on the front page of your service.
Update: And in your FAQ as well.
Sorry if this question was already asked before: Does it work if my startup is in Europe? Does it work regardless of where on the globe my customer is? Thanks! Also, no matter what the answer is, it should be in large lettering on the front page of your service. Update: And in your FAQ as well.
I agree with most of the criticism that has been said in this thread already, but if you can fix that your key selling point for me is "no merchant account required", you should target outside the US where that matters most.
But looks like a solid offering for those that don't mind that one kink.
The volume used for comparison is 150 customers a month, each paying $20, for a total of $3000/month. That's only $36k/year, which is not much at all for a business. Using the rates that PintPay gives for its competitors, Recurly becomes cheaper at $3833/month ($46k/year), Chargify becomes cheaper at $5500/month ($66k/year), and PayPal Web Pro becomes cheaper at $6000/month ($72k/year).
So who is the intended customer for PintPay? Most businesses that I can think of that would need such a service are going to be doing over $46k/year.

Hi, the net 60 is just during the beta period and really there to combat fraud. I assure you it is not to help "bootstrap." We intend to lower it later to 30 days. Edit: if you email us at feedback@pintpay.com we would consider lowering that number from 60 for approved/verified merchants.
Thanks for the response. Many of the other comments are now putting this into context. However, realize that if I were to switch to your service I might see a huge disruption in our business' income. Even 30 days could be tough for some considering Paypal makes our money available instantly . We bring in approximately 80% of our income through Paypal, and have rolled our own subscription management service. We are al…
