Why would we use a payment processor that only works in the US and Canada? I mean everything I've seen about Stripe looks utterly fantastic, but we've been waiting ages for it to come to Britain and Europe, when is this actually going to happen? What actual roadblocks are in the way of this happening? What have the team responsible for this been doing for the past year or so, sitting on their arses?



Every time someone posts about stripe there is this comment. They have said numerous times that they are working on it and they have to pass through several regulatory hurdles to do so. They also explained in their blog post about the canadian support that many of the hurdles of adding a secondary region to the platform wont have to be done for further regions. So your answer is it will be released when its ready.


I think it's important that they realised just quite how large the demand is for this to happen.


Especially since the Samwers managed to clone the whole thing for Germany. I might actually go with them.
