#2Given that ShopLocket is based in Toronto, does this mean that Stripe is now offered in Canada?
More related, ShopLocket has been working extremely hard, and their site looks great.

Thanks for your support! Today Stripe really only supports US bank accounts. But they are working really hard to make it available outside the US. You can submit your information to Stripe and they are trying to keep people updated. We had to do a lot around getting ourselves setup in the States to use it for our own invoicing, but it was worth it :)

#5The combination of the two services is about a 5% cut. As a non-developer, this combination looks appealing (I'm still waiting for someone to completely kill paypal), but that's a pretty big cut.
Maybe I should just spend a few weeks learning to program instead :)

#6Hijack warning: this seemed like a potentially relevant thread to a service I am looking for so I'm just going to post it in case any HN readers know of or provide this service.
I'm looking for an online service that can automate our order processing workflow.
Our current workflow is: (For additional clarity, I am surrounding separate entities in [ ])
[Distributor emails] a Purchase Order to [OurCompany]
[OurCompany] forwards this Purchase Order to the appropriate [3rd Party Warehouse], who then picks and ships the order to the [Distributor]
[3rd Party Warehouse] sends [OurCompany] a Bill of Lading confirming product shipment
[OurCompany] forwards this Bill of Lading to [Distributor]
[OurCompany] invoices [Distributor] based on Bill of Lading (using QuickBooks)
Anyone know of such a thing?

I totally agree, even for me 2.5% is cutting it.

This is Katherine, Co-Founder of ShopLocket. Definitely understand where you are coming from in terms of fees. We've thought a lot about this. What we ended up doing for the pricing model is very much taking a cue from other services like Eventbrite, Etsy, and even lower plans on Shopify. Some competitors bring both there fees and the processing fees together, but it still usually ends up around 5%. This is actually a lot lower than tradition Marketplaces, say eBay that will charge much larger percentages. We're certainly open to feedback though!

We are working hard to make Stripe available outside the United States. What does this even mean? You've been saying this for a long time now. Is there really no other status update besides this? Why not be a bit more transparent about the process to people who want to give you money ?
Because people who say "Do this, I want to give you money" often turn out to:
a. Not really have money to give. b. Not really want to give money.
And frankly, "getting money" is probably low on Katherine's list right now. She has a product roadmap that she's executing on and doesn't want to be pulled away from. The money stuff will come later if she charts the right course.
It's counterintuitive at first, but as an entrepreneur, once you get burned a few times creating a feature or changing course due to a request from "someone who wants to give you money", you start learning to tune out the folks who demand stuff with that kind of domineering urgency. I've found this very difficult on my end and have people on my team help spot when to tune people out so I can get better at it.
