I'm not a big fan of the Samwers, and try to avoid using any of their services.
And this time I might end up using their service. I simply have no option.
This is not only proof of their lightening fast execution, but also how all others fail.
German/European startups: fail. None of them were interested to get into this space. They all want to become the next payment / mobile solution and all had no interest about serving the biggest platform- web.
Stripe: fail. I know how startups work. I know that expanding is not easy. But they have raised $20 Million. You could pay a local team of 10 a year, and would have not even spent 5% of your funding. There is just no excuse.
German developers wanted stripe BADLY.
German / European banks: total fail. They completely lack of any vision, and are busy enough staying alive.
