Doesn't that cost way, way too much as a one-off fee? I'd rather pay a small percentage more on each sale, as I don't have that many sales. Also, getting a merchant account appears to be too much of a hassle.
Uhhh, what do you mean? Go through Chase paymentech is like 1.9% or so for card not present.
Just curious: are there any good options outside the US?
God I hate posts about Stripe with a passion. It's like saying "You've had this pain in your back for the last five years? Well, I've got this miracle pill here that will not only make it go away, but it will also taste great . Oh, you're not in the US? Too bad then." Stop reminding me I can't use Stripe all the time.

Stripe is beta testing internationally. I got an account in Canada about 2 weeks ago. http://www.businessinsider.com/stripe-square-international-e...
have to admit, that one of the reasons patio11 got Patrick (cofounder of Stripe) to help with customer support is because he's *the patio11 but great customer service is still great, no matter what.
Patrick is in the support rotation like most of us at Stripe. He'll answer your email too if you send it on the right day.
Or spend a few hours, get a merchant account through a bank and authorize.net with much lower fees and a pretty standard API. Tons of classes to use authorize.net with and super simple... no point of adding ANOTHER layer... charging with a merchant account is trivial.
Plus, if you're a startup, you don't really know how much you're going to be selling (or not selling). It's a good idea to keep associated costs variable until you have some better benchmarks.
Stripe is unquestionably the fastest, easiest way to be able to accept credit card payments online without making yourself look like an amateur by having google checkout or the like. Not having to go through the process of getting a merchant account--and the way their fees are structured--has been a huge time and sanity saver for me, both for myself and for projects I've worked on.

Fantastic, how do I go about applying, do you know?
You can see the big jump in May-July (although the jump for July is 32%, not 53%)
