Stripe doesn't appear at all. You have full control over what appears on the statement.
These little touches are awesome. With Auth.net it seems I ran into a character limit with my (not very long) company name, and the beginning was truncated - TopHat became Phat... I tried to get it changed once upon a time, but I gave up due to the pain. The old 1 month payout schedule was one of the few things holding me back from switching, but now that's it's more frequent, count me in! One question, can one charg…
You can charge from multiple URLs, but all your data will show up together as if it were for one account. If you want to have multiple accounts for different websites, your best bet currently is to just sign up multiple times (we're working on having subaccounts).

> Maybe if you're charging millions of dollars, you should use a regular merchant account. You should probably still use Stripe in this case. (Some people already are.) We scale up pretty well. Everything that you get with a merchant account (correct statement text, money held in your name), you get with Stripe. Additionally, there are some advantages for large businesses that would make Stripe more attractive than a…
We scale up pretty well. Everything that you get with a merchant account (correct statement text, money held in your name), you get with Stripe. Key scaling issue is pricing. 2.9% is fine for low volumes and no risk validation, but once you're turning over large volumes and have a track record of no chargebacks etc the comparison looks much worse. If you can offer businesses a pricing that 'scales' with substantial r…
We do plan on doing volume discounts eventually.

Not being able to cope with the fraud is the #1 reason why payment processors fail. Most of the fraud happens with accounts outside the US. New payment processors always start with the US and slowly expand outward. Being able to deal with fraud is how PayPal made itself when everyone that came before it failed.
Most of the fraud happens with accounts outside the US. That's true, but too broad a brush. There's a difference between your average European country and China/Russia.
And that's why you expand to europe first.

#278US only. Well, I kind of knew it before even hitting FAQ. A bit of a rant here, but it's crazily difficult to do so many interesting things when you don't live in top-20 country (Lithuania here) Stripe? Nope. BrainTree? Nope. Recurly? Nope. Something else... Likely, Nope. And so, the only way to get paid is to deal with some of the most expensive and oldest gateways and merchant accounts. Oh, and: Hulu? Nope. iTunes?…
Even living in the UK is frustrating some times. I wish more businesses advertise their operating limits on the home page. I got quite excited when looking at stripe, but only after looking half-way down their help & support page does it mention they are US only.
Re: Stripe: instant payment processing for developers
#279US only at the moment. Anyone know if they have plans for the UK? I would dearly love to say goodbye to PayPal forever.
I too vote for this.
Re: Stripe: instant payment processing for developers
#280Stripe pretty much takes payment processing kicking and screaming into 2011. Merchant accounts are a serious drag. I've opened a few and they've been nothing but headaches (especially if you're young—nobody trusts you.) Couple that with getting a gateway account, dealing with credit checks, monthly fees, monthly minimums, slow people in the payments industry, PCI compliance... Stripe takes payments and put them behin…
I would love to see someone drag it kicking and screaming outside of the US. :(
Also, it would be nice if there was somewhere I could drop my email address to be notified when Stripe makes it to the UK.
