#33At Spreedlycore we support 40 + payment gateways. (our target audience are developers/applications that need to work with more than one payment gateway) No one's asked us about PayMill yet. It'll be interesting if they do. It worries me when the first two sentences contradict each other: "Paymill enables you to offer credit card payments on your website within a short time. There is no waiting time" Which one is it?…

Correction: Braintree hasn't nailed it even inside US, despite reports otherwise.

At Braintree, most new merchants are automatically approved to start processing without any human review. In some cases, an application will need an underwriter to take a look at it before it's fully approved. The advantage of this approach is that we won't tell you that you're good to go, but then shut you down a few weeks or months down the road after you've already started processing.

The UK process (at least when we investigated it) and I assume the rest of the recently added countries is still very much send us more paperwork then a bank ever will ask for to a black hole email (or sftp) at Braintree and say a pray.
This is no worse then any of the other payment processors in the UK but hardly the frictionless option that is in the US.

#36The site has German words on some pages even though I've switched to the English locale.

Not if you want to receive in euros.
Correct. I don't want Stripe to do the conversion. We want to receive dollars from US customers, and Euros from EU customers.

It's true, the motto of HN is that ideas are nothing, execution is everything.
Yes the Samwise brothers outright steal ideas, but if you object then go and out-execute them in Europe. If you can't do that and the competition was fair, then the market has found a better solution. The only other path is in mandating a monopoly
