#2That's a bit bizarre, because one would expect a German clone to support the payment variants that are far more popular than credit cards in Germany.
EDIT: The biggest payment variant I was thinking of is direct debit (German: Lastschrift), which is highly convenient. However, wiring the money before getting the goods is also surprisingly popular here. Many people just don't have credit cards. (I do, but I also use some US services like Github which only allow credit card payments.)

#5Looks like they're a PHP shop and only offer PHP client libs yet. Seems they didn't even understand the message Stripe has in kinds of developer focus.
Also: Why would I use a payment service of the biggest copy cat company in the country? To deliver them my revenue numbers on a silver plate so they can decide if they should "enter my market"?
They don't even openly publish the upcoming fees and just want you to "vendor lock-in" (or dig around to find the transaction fees somewhere hidden on their site). really sad :(

I agree, it's been a long time coming. Might be a pain for Stripe but competition is great for everyone else.

I was initially appalled when I first read about the Samwar clone factory. Now I agree, in cases like this they're filling a gap in the market.

The reason why you might consider it:
Payments are still a very annoying topic in Europe. (imho)

The first few examples I saw where all JavaScript or Curl.

The only gap is, that Recurly and Spreedly were not able to tell the EU founders that their service is available and working perfectly fine with European payment gateways.
They all have JS and REST-APIs and a lot more:
