Any chance you're international or is it just US only for now?


It's only US right now.

Moving to other countries will take time as each country has their own banking/financial/etc issues that need to be dealt with.

It took years for PayPal's Web Payments Pro to go from US only to US, UK. And then a few more years to go to US, UK and Canada.

Amazon FPS has been around for ages and is still US only.

So it may be a while.


Can I suggest you announce loudly and publicly when you're ready to roll out in non-US countries (in my case, Australia), remembering that many of us will have already written you off as "US only" in our heads and will skip straight past future mentions of you, expecting to be disappointed.


3kMarlin isn't involved with Stripe. collision and I are the founders. (Good point, though.)


Grr. Argh. I don't know what the market outside of the US but since there's basically no one serving us in this space you would think it would be a huge opportunity if anyone figures out how to crack it.


Anyway Stripe can figure out a way to innovate around this?
