Stripe is a game changer. I've been using it for a few months and honestly its the best API I've ever used. The documentation is clear and concise. Its customized to your account so you can literally copy and paste and see the result. Just like it says, it gets out of your way. I was up and running and accepting recurring payments in less than an hour or so. I actually began to think of larger "swing for the fence" t…
The first time that happened to me, was when I wanted to run my first test transaction at the command-line, and Stripe had generated the customized console commands for my specific app (with my specific API keys, etc.) and literally allowed me to copy and paste from their secure site to my command-line without having to do any thinking.
That was my first 'aha! OMG...this API is awesome' moment. There were many others, and the truth is I forgot until you mentioned it.
Now that you mentioned it, it reminded me how blindingly simple that is to implement - but SOOO many developers (I am guilty as charged too) overlook those little details that make SUCH a difference.

We're definitely working on expanding to other countries. There's no definite timeline just yet, but it's one of our top priorities.
Very amazing concept and something that we've needed for a long time. The best thing is the developer focus behind it; it's clear from the beginning that this came to fruition with fellow developers in mind.
"You don't need a merchant account or gateway." That's a killer feature right there. I've been considering using Braintree for a project, but seeing this is really making me reconsider.
I'm really excited to learn more about Stripe, but I have Braintree implemented in one application and have had a good experience. For future apps, why choose Stripe over Braintree?
It looks like these guys have done it right, and finally hidden the layers friction, banking (and open palms) for us.
Nice Work!
One Nit if anyone from Stripe is reading - it was a bit hard to find the answer to "How & When do I get paid". There is a small blurp on the pricing page (still doesn't say how), but nothing in the FAQ or Docs. Please spell this out a bit more.
