I've been using this service for a month and a bit now and it's worked really well. There is dramatically more paperwork compared to Stripe, but it works and it's way way better than anything else available in Germany.
PayMill, Stripe clone, rolls out silently across Europe

Re: PayMill, Stripe clone, rolls out silently across Europe
#72While I applaud any move to bring more payment options in Europe this is really still very german focused and appears only half baked. The English documentation is interesting with lots of muddled terminology and when you start the application process bit's of it are still in german in places. The site also seems to lack error and confirm messages (wondering if this is simply not translated) For those in the UK jumpi…
I'm very sorry for the translation problems. We are working to solve these, but we would appreciate if you could send us an email on support@paymill.com if you find something wrong or ambiguous. But a small correction: we support the local currency of your company. If you are based in the UK, you'll be able to accept GBP. If you need support for other European currencies, you can contact us and we can certainly look…
PCI Compliance is about a business not a process being compliant, while your solution reduces the scope of compliance it does not mean the business can just ignore its responsibilities. They still have to go through the motions just the emphasis is on you rather then the business. Which means your own documentation should be clear on what process are compliant, who did your assessment etc. So this can be then used for your merchants when doing their own assessments.
You may wish to change some of your terminology to match the rest of the industry a "reclaim" for instance I assume you mean a chargeback. You also mix the terms reclaim and refund in several places. Assuming you meant chargeback then a chargeback and a refund are two very separate things.
Also as pointed out the FAQ states only Euros are supported, I'm glad to hear that GBP is also supported I shall have another play in a bit. But how then is currency conversion reconciled?
Ultimately the site is littered with mistakes (mostly I'm sure due translation) and these reflect an image of service that's not quite finished.

What's the point of supporting both Greece and Turkey but not the other part of Cyprus? Just wondering.
Probably simply because they're not officially recognized by the EU.
I bet they aren't officially recognized by USA either, you can still buy Coca-Cola there.
Seriously, I come to think IT products are inferior to physical products in the terms of being able to distribute and make them available regardless of politics.

Your company needs to be registered in one of the countries we support. Other than that, payments can come from any country.
I see you mentioning 'Israel' in your terms of use, but can't select Israel in your countries interface. Can I use PayMill as an Israeli company? Thanks.
Yes. It's missing in the language switcher because of a technical problem, but you can find Israel on the activation form.

#75It's definitely been very annoying for us outside of the US watching the light speed evolution of payment systems happening there and only there . So this is good news for my European friends.
This is a too narrow view. Africa leads with mobile phone banking (use your phone as a wallet and transfer funds and be able to cash out), Russia and CIS have viable cardless electronic money (you deposit money into electronic kiosks at shops and molls and then pay for goods and services via interwebs or from mobile), China has I guess everything we can imagine and more.

#76I still don't see how Stripe and PayMill are different from companies like SWREG that have existed since the time of Compuserve. Why is everyone so enthusiastic about Stripe? I honestly don't understand.

#77This connection is untrusted. The certificate is only valid for the following names: .paymill.de , paymill.de http://i.imm.io/Lcpp.jpeg Anyone else getting this error?
We're working on that, thanks for the hint. We noticed that problem on wednesday, should be fixed at the beginning of the next week (from 12th on).
Alternatively you can hit our website with paymill.com without entering https in your URL.

Nope, we also offer currencies which are supported in your country as well as USD/EUR and other way round, if you contact us directly at support@paymill.com.
Your website is outdated/wrong as it says the opposite.
Yes, correct. We're gonna fix it today and make a live deployment tomorrow. ;)

#80At 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?…
The lack of AMEX and Discover seems irrelevant to me. The lack of local cards however is a major issue for some European countries, depending on what you sell. If I where to use Paymill, I would still need someone to handle payments on local Danish cards.
From the look of the API is also seems like Paymill wouldn't be of any use if you ship physical products. Some European countries don't allow you to charge the customers card until the goods are actually shipped. This mean that you do need to be able to reserve the money and later do a "capture".
I love the simplicity of solutions like Stripe and Paymill, but I really don't see them be all that useful. That might of cause be because I'm in the business of shipping physical products in small geographic location.
EDIT: Just noticed Dankort being supported by Spreedlycore, awesome.
