#2I really hope this works out, the idea is awesome. I suspect there's a fair amount of red tape to get it launched.
Re: Pin is Australia’s first all-in-one payment API
#3Finally something in Australia with possible potential. No information on pricing other than a monthly fee + transaction fee.
I'm not sure what a JSON REST API is though.
What does "scheme" in the JSON response correlate to? I'm also not sure why so much information is essentially echoed back?

Thanks. Plenty of red tape so far, but we're handling it.

I wouldn't say there's a whole lot of idea in this ("bring Stripe to Australia please" is not new) but I'm hoping the implementation and pricing are both great.

It's supposed to mean that the API responds with JSON data (as opposed to, say, XML). "REST" here just means we use standard URL patterns and rely on HTTP verbs (e.g. GET), to get stuff done.

Sorry I was probably being overly pedantic, I do understand the concepts of REST and the JSON format. I've never seen it as one buzz phrase though.

#8I really wish there was something like this that worked globally, other than PayPal.

I think you're missing a "currency" field in the request, particularly since you support both AUD and USD.

#10Firstly, its fantastic to see a service that will hopefully provide a breath of fresh air to a sector that has almost become archaic, and therefore difficult to use, in Australia.
What sort of red-tape has been causing you the most trouble? Also, are you partnering with one of the banks?
