Direct debit is just as easy. Two numbers to enter.
The problem is that you can't synchronously process the payment, which makes the API (and user experience generally) much more complicated.

#83Fun to see stripe in europe, however in europe almost nobody pays by card, or let alone: even owns a credit card. We pay by baking systems such as Ideal (in the netherlands).

Completely off-topic - but why does a consultancy company in Munich have a .ie domain? :-)

#89Sadly Germans hate credit cards.
Credit card usage is somewhat lower in Germany (though by a smaller margin than people think), and we considered holding off 'till we had a better answer to this. But we thought about it more, and talked to a bunch of German companies, and realized that a lot of German users want to sell to a global market in the very same way that, say, an American company would -- there isn't necessarily a tight coupling between th…

#90I was just about to go with Paymill. It's great to have one more option. Now the rest of Europe please.
