So why pay extra for a Stripe wrapper?
So you don't have to do anything yourself? I personally don't want to set up a https certificate every time I want to take a payment.
Stripe checkout is as easy to integrate & also well designed. Why bother to have yet another middleman in the game.
> Stripe checkout is as easy to integrate Stripe Checkout requires that you know how to write and integrate code. Plasso does not. Of the 2.4 billion people with internet-connected computers, only 1-2 million can write code.

Clicking "Learn More" links, in many places, literally takes you to api documentation.

How many years are you willing to pay a revolving monthly fee to avoid spending an hour on an ssl cert once? Just asking for market research purposes.
I've been following Spacebox; what happened to plastic.io? Trademark conflict? (i.e. why change the name?)

Seriously? It's as easy as integrating a tweet or like button into a blog post. Just copy & paste.
Here's the Stripe Checkout integration guide for Rails for example: https://stripe.com/docs/checkout/guides/rails

A little history just for fun:
- I launched: http://quixly.com back in 2010 after a year in development. It was the first app i had seen that got rid of the idea of a shopping cart and let you pay URLs.
- Then I launched Space Box in 2012. The goal was to make Stripe user friendly for the non-developer.
- Plasso is now the first step in something bigger I want to tackle. It's my host desire to replace paypal... but i've got a ways to go. Still need to polish the selling tools on Plasso.. then attack the buyer's side of things.
I've been at the digital delivery game since 2009 really, its fun, but a lot of work. I really love Plasso (obviously ;) and my favorite thing about it, which sheds light on it's future is the 'Pay Me' feature: http://plasso.co/drew@drewwilson.com have people pay you easy peasy. Soon to have bank & bit coin transfers!
Anywho.. i hope this is the start of something big. We'll see.
