Title: Stripe - a heads up
Post by: Imagenomad on September 05, 2013, 05:28

I'm not sure if this is on the Symbio roadmap or not but I've just seen on PhotoShelter that Stripe have expanded their service to the UK and Ireland. AFAIK, they still don't cover mainland Europe.

From their FAQs, "We're also available in private beta for businesses in Australia, Belgium, France, Germany and The Netherlands.
We're actively working on adding support for other countries."

So is there the possibility of integrating Stripe into Symbio in the future?

Stripe is a very interesting company, good to see that they're expanding. Not sure they're the best option for micro payments though - GBP: 2.4% + 20p + VAT (charged at 23%) + 2% currency conversion. £15 chargeback fee ($15 in the US so roughly double in the UK).

On the plus side, no need for PCI compliance and no monthly fee.
