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.

#113Are 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. )

Do you support marketplace models (internationally)?
Hey, yep! Stripe Connect works in all our live and beta countries: https://stripe.com/connect . Our direct payouts product ( https://stripe.com/blog/send-payouts-with-stripe ) is currently US-only, but we're working on expanding it.

#115Stripe has been in beta in the Netherlands for a while now, but with credit card only, choosing between Stripe and old school payment providers (which aren't half as bad as what is apparently is the case in the US) that support all of the most used payment methods, Stripe is really not an option.

#117Can the merchants keep the currency that they get paid in and elect to convert it at their choosing, or does it get immediately converted to whatever their home currency is?

#118Wow! Awesome. I see Naira. Phew! :) So if I make my charge in Naira, how do you pay me in Naira considering Nigerian banks are yet to be supported. Of course same question apples to other non supported countries whose currencies are supported.

#119Holy 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…
