#12They just launched in the UK, too. I integrated them in about 2 hours and took a setup fee payment (£1,200) with zero hassle within hours of getting the beta email. Awesome stuff. Best payment provider integration experience I've ever had (and I've had a few).
? I thought they were still in beta in the UK, and their front page still offers only United States and Canada as options.
It's a private beta, but it only takes emailing them to get in.

#13I got my invite last week and integrated it over the weekend, but I need to hold off until I can accept USD. According to John at Stripe "Unfortunately, right now you'd need a US-routable dollar account to accept payments in USD. We're planning on having better native support for charging USD in the future, but have no timeline on it right now." I'm planning on opening a US bank account when I'm in SF in August, if a…
I guess adding multi-currency is another level of complexity, but something that I think users in Europe would want. Also exchange rates stuff probably has regulatory stuff with it too.
I don't see anywhere on the stripe interface to add a 2nd bank account for a different currency.
Does anyone have any tips on what banks to open a US a/c when I'm there next (I don't have a SSN).

#14I got my UK invite over a month ago, I still haven't implemented it because I hadn't realised you needed SSL.

#15Great to see Stripe expanging in Europe!
We at Sellfy (http://sellfy.com/) just rolled out GPB support for Stripe UK users looking to sell their downloads. I guess the Euros for Ireland are next.

As mentioned above, I spoke to them at their hack day in London at the beginning of April, and they said they expected to solve this in 1-3 months. So hopefully within the next 6 weeks if we're optimistic!

We're on the UK beta, still a bit confused though - is it all still in test mode only?

Nope I'm pretty sure you can accept normal payments (I'm in the UK BETA and I can.) Make sure you've verified your account and added a bank account :-)

I can't see anywhere to add a bank account, and activate account only lists US & Canada which is stopping me activating it. Am I on the wrong beta?
Time to drop Stripe an email I think!

You have to click the invite email and attach your account rather than just going to the panel.
