In our defense, they keep adding new EU countries. But no, we're not in all of them yet. We're in 13 EU countries, Norway, and Switzerland: https://stripe.com/global

Not really adding any new ones for quite some time now. I've quickly developed a page to view the progress: http://0xff.lt/stripe-spread.html Still more than 50% of EU left. And Switzerland does not seem to be moving anywhere, hehe.

Nice colours. Keep those paintbrushes handy! We're on it...

I want to start a code marketplace using Stripe connect. someone posts a job, people bid on it, someone pays the person doing the job, I take the payment and release it when the work is confirmed to be done.

Is there an existing script that I can use and integrate stripe connect with?

In retrospect, the global P2P marketplace that we've launched in 2010 on top of PayPal's API may have been 5 years too soon. Requiring all our buyers and sellers to have a PayPal account was detrimental to our brand. But, we concluded that we "didn't want to be in the nasty business of dealing with fraud, ID verification and international payments" so it made sense back then to leave that up to PayPal. But I would ha…

It's likely this was a conscious business decision; PayPal derives value through its brand , which is lost to consumers (buyers) using the platform if the platform becomes a white label solution. PayPal wants customers to know they can pay with PayPal at business/merchant X, not just their credit card.

Indeed, Paypal doesn't want you to pay with your credit card, and won't let you change your default PayPal payment method. You have to go through a process to select it Every.Single.Time, if you remember, and if you overlook to do it - well, what do you know, PayPal just saved the CC fee...

Seven days isn't helpful. I've been looking at performing this functionality with utilizing a free trial; setup a subscription payment of one year with a three month trial. If the client meets the requirements, let the subscription charge after three months (then cancel all subsequent subscription payments). If they fail to meet terms within the three month window, cancel the "trial" all together. Feels hacky.

If you attach the card to a customer object[0], you can create one off charges whenever you'd like. Stripe will even update the card's details on the customer if the card is reissued[1]. You can then create charges against the card manually through the dashboard (which seems to be what you were looking for based off of your original comment).

Does there always have to be an initial charge (in the example $1.00)?

All of the links on rotation images and company text go to DoorDash for me. Also, only a short line of text is shown and the rest is cut off. "Lyft uses connect to Create an integ" This is on IE10 Version: 10.0.9200.17267 (work machine). Screenshot: http://imgur.com/lddIlhz

wow some people still use IE on HN.

You are talking about the home page, right? Images are double size for retina displays. Your JPEG version is pointless, the flags are placed on top of the background and need an alpha channel. The page is indeed a bit heavy but not enough to impair the experience, first paint is still under 3s. Remember the audience for this page is 90% software developers, with powerful machines and high bandwidth.

> flags are placed on top of the background and need an alpha channel Ok, that explains the huge PNGs; can't they be rendered as-is (i.e. include part of the background in the foreground picture? > first paint is still under 3s That's really slow. The jankey animation (yay Apple) and rasterized image rendering is horrible; it's a throwback to the late-90s internet. > the audience for this page is 90% software develop…

I'm on a late-2013 rMBP running Yosemite. The page looks nice and animates smoothly in both Chrome and Safari. There may be some deeper problem on your system.

No. Creating the customer will charge the card $0.00 or $1.00 (depends on country/bank) and immediately refund the charge to verify the card itself, the CVC, the address, etc. In most cases, this tiny charge won't be noticed because of the refund.

I mean god damn stripe has some great front-end engineers.

Whenever I see one of their products, I always think "if it's that good on the outside, imagine how good it is on the inside".

Forced wait is definitely an irritating practice in web today. Not only is is distracting and usually valueless, it's delays what is important: information transfer.

I am not sure why i need to scroll through 6 screens to see the price instead of just being able to click an icon on the first screen and jump to where i want to jump to. Maybe there is a way that I just couldnt figure out. Why is it folks would never today implement a 6 or 7 step wizard with a bunch of next buttons. but its considered a good idea to do so with scrolling is involved... would also like to see a big do…

There's a pricing link at the top of the page right where it belongs...

Kudos for the great explanation here: https://stripe.com/docs/recipes/on-demand-app

However I still have one question: is it possible to delay payments to service providers? In other words to do escrow.

Here is our use case: a client books a service (maybe with 30 days in advance), we need to charge the client at that time, but we won't pay the service provider until 24 hours after the service has been provided (so that we've made sure everything went fine).
