To compete with Square I assume?

Apparently I was mistaken, from another thread here on HN a stripe employee wrote:

As for Square, they're for in-store transactions. We're not targeting that segment at all.

Wouldn't this violate app store rules? I was under the impression that the Kindle app almost got banned for this.

As long as it's for purchasing goods that are outside of your app, then it's fine. You couldn't use this for buying virtual coins, but you could for ordering an Uber.

This is an interesting approach at empire building, Mr. Graham. Extremely belated congrats to Mr. Lacker on being a double Putnam fellow... that has piqued my interest in your company more than any marketing effort could have :)

Mr. Lacker being a double Putnam fellow is part of the reason this marketer joined Parse so that detail in itself is somewhat of a marketing effort. I am amazed and humbled everyday by the intelligence of the Parse team.

Mr. Lacker being a double Putnam Fellow is part of the reason I chose to team up to build Parse with him. Also he shares my love for burritos.
