Sadly Germans hate credit cards.
- Almost anyone that would be able to actually use a credit card online has a credit card
- Everyone i know dislikes credit cards, including me. They still have the correct stigma of paying with money you don't have and causing a housing crisis because of it; they're "american" and very "capitalist".
Just got accepted into the Australia Beta, its working awesome.
D'oh, I had no idea, and here I am already having spent months talking to NAB in order to charge USD and support AMEX. Stripe seems a lot cheaper too in terms of fees. Stripe AU supports AMEX and USD charges, right?
Great to see the acceleration of roll out of counties ! DE does have lower CC usage, but I think it will be more use for DE businesses operating internationally to accept in EUR & USD. btw. I threw together a handy tool for calculating the cost of a transaction. http://www.blackdog.ie/stripe/ edit : clarity
Nice calculator; but it misses the currency conversion costs. You can't get $9.46 as a UK merchant - you get paid in £GBP and they add another 2% from mid-market rate - so $9.27 would be more accurate.
Stripe.com says Charges made in a currency for which you haven't connected a bank account will be converted to your default currency. A 2% fee applies for currency conversion, and all fees are calculated in the currency we transfer to you.
So you can avoid it by having an USD / EUR account. Or you have to pay this 2% fee. I will add a note to the page.
Honest question to everybody: Would you trust your financial data (= growth data, etc.) to a company like Paymill that's owned by a clone factory (i.e. the Samwers') or do you think that's being paranoid? EDIT: I wasn't asking for downvotes, I was asking for rational comments, explanations, thoughts.
Well, Paymill is German and Stripe is based in the US, so from a trust viewpoint, I'd go with Paymill, maybe their customer data gets fleeced a bit less by the NSA than Stripe's.
Any schedule yet for Switzerland?
Congrats to Stripe team. They have done a really good job, I find since they get it work in UK, they are expanding in a very fast pace for now (y) Hope it will come to Northen EU soon :)

What speaks against Paymill? Are there any problems with them? They support a lot more countries than Stripe right now. Edit: Just read that its from the Samwers. Might be enough to wait for Stripe then.
Guys seriously. There's nothing going against PAYMILL just because theyre a 'clone' company. Theyre working with 2 big acquirer banks which probably wouldnt do so if the company wasnt trustworthy. Might wanna think about that. Plus being available in 39 countries across Europe is more than beneficial for so many small business owners who previously did not have the chance to onboard with any other payment provider. B…

Yeah. So Paymill-sales has an account on the same day registered as yours and accidentally posts the same content as your post first ( http://cl.ly/image/3i0t1y233M0b ). Also, judging from your post history I'd say: this doesn't help Paymill in any way, quite the opposite really.

I'm German, and can confirm two things: - Almost anyone that would be able to actually use a credit card online has a credit card - Everyone i know dislikes credit cards, including me. They still have the correct stigma of paying with money you don't have and causing a housing crisis because of it; they're "american" and very "capitalist".

In times of basically zero interest a 30-day free loan doesn't sound like a very convincing argument since I have to keep the money in an easily accessible account anyway to pay the bill at the end of the month.
> In times of basically zero interest a 30-day free loan doesn't sound like a very convincing argument ... Look at it this way -- for 30 days, you have access to funds that the poor person doesn't. Interest or not, you have more financial latitude. Also, people who automatically and fully pay off their cards every month tend also to be the sort of people who have most of their money in investments that yield reasonab…
