Does anyone know if Stripe have plans -in the rather short term- to come to Asia? Japan, or maybe Singapore?

I know this question always comes up so it must be getting obnoxious, and I apologize for asking it yet again, but it's a testimony to how great Stripe is. I'd go further: I think it is a competitive advantage for a startup to be in a country supported by Stripe vs others.

I have a Japanese tea subscription service (https://tomotcha.com), so my business is anchored in Japan. Yet because there is no acceptable payment system here I take payments abroad with all the tax headaches that it entails... It's ok for now because Tomotcha is pretty small, but when it grows I will have to switch.

I'm looking forward to the growth of course, but not to the switch...

Either Stripe itself or something like Stripe needs to open in Korea. Payments are a major pain here. :(

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Stripe's product is for developers. I highly doubt there are developers using IE9. It's an audience Stripe can comfortably choose to ignore.

Whilst that sounds logically. You're replying to someone on HN, who is presumably a developer and detected this bug in IE9.

More than likely that developer checked it in IE9 after seeing the great front-end design, and does not primarily browse the web in IE9 (what sane person would?)

Edit: he commented below saying it was IE11 with the IE9 emulation enabled.

Some tradeoffs though; this is what it looks like on IE9 http://i.imgur.com/EkH81zN.png

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.

Wow, some people on HN access the site from work where corporate IT policy may limit the software that runs on their machine.

Check out Webpay for payments in Japan. Their API was originally supposed to be a clone of the Stripe API, but have gone off with their own API updates based on the JP market. https://webpay.jp/

I know webpay, but it only issues payments in JPY while I charge my customers either in USD or EUR... It's great for Japanese companies targeting the Japanese market, but my customers are mostly in North America and Europe.

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

Took an unusually long time for everything to load and it didn't load from top to bottom, mixed everywhere.

But, it is very nice and well formatted. 10/10 would refresh again.
