This is the first bad thing I've read about Stripe. I was expecting something a lot more special when I checked the article from the link-baity headline. Instead, it's just a bootstrap-style button. And an inline popup that I would never trust to enter my credit card details. Wasted first impression on me.

And The Next Web just dropped another notch on the news sites I trust list. I have to stop clicking those links. Wasn't this the same site that copied someones blog post basically word for word without giving them credit? Quick, check to see if this same story appeared somewhere else first.

Then you wouldn't trust any non-brand-name site that sells things via credit card charges (which makes you fall outside of the entire e-commerce consumer space).

Stripe isn't for Amazon and eBay, it's for those thousands of other sites out there that accept credit cards. If you would shop there using an inline payment form, you would still shop there with the modal <div> payment form. Believe it or not, people trust and use these kinds of sites every day.
