(Stripe cofounder.) While there are lots of antecedents (this is, after all, just a checkout page with a URL), and even though this was substantially inspired by the growth of the no-code ecosystem[0], the thing that's interesting to me about the payment link "space" is that it's a use case that really took off in other markets first -- Nigeria, India, Philippines, etc. I suspect that staying abreast of important new…
I'm reluctant to hijack this thread, but please support payments in Panama. These payment links would be a big deal there. Panama uses the USD and has the best developed banking and financial services in all Central America. I've been hoping stripe would get here ever since you launched as a company. When you launched Atlas I've considered it, but the accounting and taxes are complicated and expensive. I believe one…

Hey there, I'm an American in the US I've done business over chat apps for several years. Mostly being around Chinese, Nigerian, Indian, Phillipine and Malaysian crowds on those apps. You just have to listen, the trend has been clear but in the US people derive clout from pretty irrelevant things, such as a domain name, domain name information, and people with ideas think they need SEO and other marketing gimmicks.

Panama's on our list! (Assume you've already done so but you can sign up to get notified at https://stripe.com/global#PA .)
I can't wait to be wrong about that!

I had PayPal ask me for exactly this (emailed rather than faxed) recently for my PayPal business account!
