They 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).

Do you know if they support Verified by Visa and Mastercard SecureCode? Fairly essential when doing b2c transactions with "real" goods.

Not for now, but they should. The problem is that you need to take your customer to another site and that screws all the transparency (Doing everything in just one site) and simplicity that you have right now.

Indeed. Its a shame though, at least not to offer it as an option, as it places a lot more liability on the merchant. At least as an option you can profile your customers first and choose who to use it on.

Out of interest, where did you register your interest to be part of the Beta? Apart from news articles, I've seen little official talk of the beta or the status of it.

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

Did you try out Recurly? I'm curious to see a comparison (on the zero hassle part especially).

Recurly is not a payment processor / merchant account. It is just subscription billing logic as a service, sitting on top of your actual processor.
