Are Stripe going to expand any further into Europe in the near future? I've integrated with Stripe several times now for US-based clients and am getting severely jealous!

What countries would you like to see supported? (You can sign up in a number of European countries today: https://stripe.com/global. )

Denmark.

Would love support for Denmark!

Seconded! An alternative to www.nets.eu and PayPal would be great.

http://adyen.com/ and https://paymill.com/ are also available in Denmark (although it'd be nice to have Stripe, too).

I'd really like to see support for Mexico. Integrating with you is far better than the other only available option here.

Holy shamoly! This is incredible! I'm actually checking to make sure it's not Apr 1. I'm beyond-amazed at the sheer breadth of this list. I mean, PayPal itself only supports 20-odd currencies, I think. I mean, the Brazilian Real? Literally almost no payment processors support that. And believe me, I've looked for them. This is amazing news. (As a side question, if anybody from Stripe is listening here: how exactly is…

Well PayFlow says it supports 190 markets (does that mean currencies?) https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/payflow-faq

still at least its available to merchants almost everywhere..

Cyprus here. We actually have a monopoly with only 1 credit card processor. Very old fashioned, no competition to speed up things.

the joys of being a small market...

Wait, so if I tell you 100 GBp, is that closer to 100 dollars or 1 dollar? Is "gbp" pence or pounds for you? The "smallest unit" of some currencies may be ambiguous (e.g. 1 BTC vs. 1 Satoshi).

100 GBP in the API =~ $1. (The motivation behind always using the smallest denomination is to dissuade people from performing floating point math.) The smallest unit is pretty clear in most "normal" currencies, but you're right that Bitcoin kinda throws things off...

But 100 JPY would be 100 Japanese Yen, right? I've seen somewhere (I think paymill) where they still expect decimal points to the currency, even when it doesn't exist or makes no sense.
