Show a pop-up or pop-up like asking if they want to switch to an Indian language. I never switch to another language other than English. It is highly advisable that companies translate to eight most common Indian languages. Or even the top five [0]. People speaking all major languages of India are huge potential markets for companies. Google offers search in nine Indian languages. Amazon provides customer services in…

India has 22 constitutionally recognized languages, and some 440+ all together.

(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…

> And feedback very welcome on our Payment Links product itself! The most useful addition would be another text box (or full form) in the payment link setup to specify sending some custom text to the payer upon payment (by email or on-page or both). For example a "Thank You", but also a "here's the private link to the thing you bought, here are the details, here is the password, here is the timeframe for shipping, he…

Thank you for taking the time to come on here and discuss and answer questions! Its great to see someone like you taking the time to answer questions from random people on HN.

It really does make me want to consider working with stripe for my next project (or, consider working for stripe for my next job)

I'm still trying to figure out a simple way to sell a DIGITAL product. How to prevent anybody who buys a copy to make a thousand copies from it and share them on the internet. Is there such a way?

> the bankers often ask for information on the company like website presence of marketing materials. It's not too long ago they would ask for information faxed using company letterhead, as a form of legitimization. The signals they use to vet customers are, again, a decade or two behind what's technologically relevant.

Ironically, I just had a banker ask me for a document on my employer's letterhead today. To which my boss replied "Wtf is letterhead?"

I'm also interested in this, and someone recently shared this with me: https://stripe.com/newsroom/news/taxjar Apparently Stripe's acquisition of TaxJar is meant to expand their offerings in sales tax compliance. From the article: As the latest addition to Stripe’s revenue platform, TaxJar will help businesses automate tasks such as: - Providing accurate sales tax rates at checkout, tied to the exact street address o…

We have a number of exciting tax-related launches with Stripe coming soon. Drop me a note at jackerman@stripe.com and happy to give you early access.

"exciting" tax-related ...

You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means. ;)

This. is. going. to. be. HUGE! Lots of companies Stripe has replaced because of this. I can see new areas of businesses being launched because of how easy Stripe has made it to be paid online, all with no-code! No more third parties or complex developer integrations or a cut, only get paid with a link with Stripe, That's it! I welcome this!

Wasn't this available for years from other payment providers?

In general, yes. Now Stripe has it, and thus Stripe is now a viable competitor to these other payment providers, leading the competition landscape to shift further towards being based purely off of the percentage cut each service takes from transactions and not based on features.

Isn’t that what NFTs are for?

Nope, NFTs are for claiming that you own the “original” digital work. It doesn’t prevent people from copying and sharing it.

Depends on the digital product, but usually you're looking at something like a license key and DRM.

If someone is determined enough, they _will_ distribute thousands of copies of it though.
