> we feel like as Europeans we're constantly an afterthought

Agreed.

Ahem, Stripe team. May I have your attention?

Could you please, please, please do something about helping your customers with calculating, charging, and tracking VAT to EU countries? It is currently a glaring omission from your services.

Or, adding support for SEPA/EU Bank payments to Stripe Checkout?

I know it's in the main Stripe API, but if I'm going to have to roll my own integration, I'm just going to go use PayPal. PayPal has much cleaner API for non-card payments.

With Stripe I need two different codepaths for bank payments and cards....

You can use the sources API for both cards and SEPA: https://stripe.com/docs/sources/cards

On the UI side, mind shooting me an email at [email protected]? I can share some stuff we're working on!

while you are talking about SEPA, i know that there is a support for SEPA Direct Debit, but are you thinking about implementing Swiss Direct Debit, right now there are two sub implementation one from Postfinance and one from the Banks, there are talks about combining it in one system in 2 years or so but right now its kinda shitty + i would rather work with stipe api then with camt and pain files.

I am very happily using Paddle. They treat me very well, but what makes their product really sticky is the (global, not just EU) VAT handling. I basically do nothing, and it just happens for me.

This is a big one. For EU customers, we are using a different payment gateway which can collect vat on our behalf.
Re:Stripe Billing by gamzer on Friday April 06, 2018 @04:02AM (#16771708)
I would like to know which payment gateway you are using.
Re:Stripe Billing by martinml on Friday April 06, 2018 @04:14AM (#16771757)
Paddle.com is one gateway that offers this.
