(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…

Has Panama fixed their money laundering problems yet?

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?

I recently came across Fastspring, they let you generate a license key upon purchase. I'm not using it myself, but it might be helpful https://fastspring.com/docs/fulfillments/

Off topic: can anyone recommend a Stripe alternative that's a bit less risk averse than stripe is?

I'm trying to test the water with a service in the crypto space (it's not about selling/buying cryptocurrency, but about automating some stuff regarding blockchain interaction). I got declined by Stripe based on their terms of service (i.e. don't mention the word blockchain).

I'm currently looking into payrexx (however seems way less polished than Stripe), and I've heard about Ayden and Mollie (don't know if they are equally conservative). Any recommendations?

Sorry in advance, I don't want to sound snobby, but did you mean 'risk averse'?

I couldn't be happier with Stripe, specially when collaborating with European projects, that made local payment integration a breeze.

I formerly lived in Sri Lanka, and the country lacks a payment provider worth their salt, let alone an innovative one like Stripe. Perhaps extending the countries that Stripe supports can have the biggest impact.
