This is a just general question.
Has anyone used Stripe for accepting payments? They can be found at stripe.com
It seems really simple to set up. Their fees are pretty reasonable. No merchant account needed.
No monthly fees, no "statement fees", no minimum monthly fees, 2.9% + .30 per transaction.
Can also do subscriptions, seems really good to me.
One change might be needed however, using the model in the ecommerce book (example 2), the users card is "authorized" when ordered and then later "charged" when shipped. I didn't see that functionality available in my first browse of the php api for stripe. Might need some adjustments there.
I am continuing to check this out further. Thought it might be an interesting alternative method for payments.
