Please send an alert when a new customer is added - even if they didn't make a payment. For ex, if someone subscribes to a plan that has a free trial. Stripe doesn't do this yet - so this would solve a big pain point for me.

Why does Stripe only allow U.S. businesses? Even if one is actually in the U.S., one might want to not base the company there for obvious tax reasons, so this makes their service (and by extension, this app) of very little use.

(I work at Stripe)

Stripe allows US and Canadian businesses, and is in closed beta in the UK (sign up at https://stripe.com/global if you would like an invite!) We definitely want to launch in many more countries, but can't say much about timelines as yet.

I think they're working on rolling out the platform to many more countries -- just haven't gotten there yet.

Fair enough. Looking forward to it.

If I manipulated HN, I wouldn't know how I did it. Just luck of the draw I suppose, although there was much more traffic related to Paid today than there was last night.

I don't know who the person is that submitted this.

Why?

Ironically there's no way to pay for Paid for Stripe with Stripe.

IOS Only :( We're building a really big project using Stripe right now, it's too bad I can't give stripe an extra $6 (which I would do in a heartbeat).

It's not made by Stripe.

Yeah, MediaTemple died at the most inappropriate time (again).
