So here is the list: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, United Kingdom
Hugely disappointed that India is not among the countries Braintree is expanding to. People in other areas(like europe) have at least one half decent payment gateway provider. In India we have NONE. This is the biggest payment gateway in India - http://www.ccavenue.com/content/pricing.jsp they charge 3-7% and they suck. API docs suck, payments get timed out etc. There is an annual "maintenance" charge! Developers (an…
The problem with India is that the indian government is broken (or is at least percived to be broken) outside of India. I wouldn't risk my customers money there -- too much corruption. I doubt it will ever be available in Nigeria either, nor most of Africa.

I don't know how to respond to this :). It is so widely off the mark that I can only shake my head in surprise. A huge number of MNC's dominate certain sectors of the economy. India is one of the top destinations for FDI in the world. See - http://unctad.org/en/docs/diaeia20104_en.pdf . Equating India to Nigeria .. Sheesh.. I don't know whether you were trolling or serious!

I don't think FDI is a very good indication for the challenges that a consumer payment processing company might encounter in India, especially in relation to their product.
There is justice in this world after all :) I was hoping for Stripe to go international soon but Braintree seems like a good alternative for all of us who don't want to wait any longer (and are reluctant to use Paypal)
It'd be nice if they also handled ACH transactions from checking accounts.

I’ve not used Stripe, but I’ve used Braintree for a while. Braintree is an older company, and it seems to have a bigger, lower level API. Stripe’s is much higher level, and looks like it could be both simpler and easier to use. This is probably not just because of age, but also because Stripe wraps and owns your merchant account (it looks like), while Braintree works with a merchant account, exposing many more techni…
Started to use Stripe recently for a project and have used Braintree extensively for work. Your comparison is spot on. There are some small differences such as, Stripe can send credit card details through AJAX to their servers so they are never sent to yours. Whereas Braintree uses Javascript encryption to do it, so the encrypted values are sent to your server. But I haven't seen anything that only Braintree supports…
The nice part of sending the data to your servers with client side encryption is that you can do validation before sending to the payment gateway. For example, if you want to ensure everyone enters a cardholder name, you can validate the non-encrypted fields before eating the cost of calling a payment gateway.
You can do some of these validations in javascript, but javascript is error-prone (firebug) and not as flexible (have access to a lot more data server side).
