I came to the comments solely to see if anyone found secret codes. Edit: Found the key sequence handling code addToKeySequence(t) { if (this.keySequence.push(t), this.insertCardScreen.createShowDotsAnimation(this.keySequence.length).play(), this.keySequence.length

The last time I had to swipe a card in Belgium was in the 1990s. That was swipe-and-pin. At no point in my life have I ever had to sign a manual signature for a payment. Lately contactless payments (with and without pin) have been gaining in popularity. Most payment terminals now support them. I'm sure there's a market for Stripe Reader in the US, but I can't imagine there being one over here. Unless they're a lot ch…
I signed on a LCD screen just a week ago in Germany for a card payment in Germany. It is surprising common here. However, contactless payments are gaining popularity very fast here. Actually contactless in general in Germany is rising very rapidly. I think this is due to hygiene fears.

I believe it comes from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
As to where the 42 from the Guide came from, I would recommend consulting The Hunting of the Snark.
I don't remember ever "swiping" a card and I'm in Brazil - in there any other market than US for this?
Totally see the rationale for annexing this profit pool (offline / card-present transactions)....but this doesn't feel to me like it is aligned with "increasing the GDP of the internet" -- unless I am missing something. And I'd love to be missing something, because thinking about Stripe and their strategy is very fun.
Omnichannel commerce is a product of the Internet, and specifically an Internet that's capable of supporting commerce, because a business could not operate this way without it. Seen through that lens, Stripe is "increasing the GDP of the Internet" here.
Though, I admit, this is starting to stretch the limits of how much you can consider "the Internet" being a separate place.
Stripe makes none of the hardware that is currently available (the BBPOS Chipper™ 2X BT or Verifone P400). Not sure which processing platform they are riding atop of these days (perhaps Tsys?) but we maintain a separate First Data account and CardConnect integration since Stripe's support for certain BINs of business cards is lacking. Said banks expect a breakdown of what was taxable to be sent along with the transac…
(I work at Stripe.) Keep in mind that Stripe Terminal has upfront pricing: there are no additional software, PCI compliance, or monthly fees (or even equipment lease payments!). When factoring in these additional fees that many legacy players charge on top of the payment processing, Terminal oftentimes has more favorable pricing (along with working alongside your existing online Stripe transactions). If you want fund…

We used to have a chip-without-pin payment scheme for small amounts, called Proton, but it never really caught on and got scrapped a few years back.

At Bauhaus? They always want me to sign.
