Third party plugins is not even close. Shopping carts overwhelmingly support Stripe and not Balanced.

EDIT: Not sure who downvoted you; it was a fair question. I countered it with an upvote.

Thanks. Shopping cart integration is first mover advantage. Stripe was the first to market with a product that dissolved two huge problems with accepting payments online: merchant underwriting and PCI-DSS compliance. Because of this it's unsurprising that i.) shopping carts rushed to integrate with them, and ii.) there is as much community good will toward Stripe as there is.

You could reach out to Balanced about API wrappers libs, I'm sure they would love someone to write language idiomatic libraries for them. It might be a nice contract gig.

I have, they suggested I open a ticket, and I did many months ago. No movement since.

I am not good enough to write a wrapper and frankly time/money preference dictates I spend it elsewhere, in any case.

I'd probably send them another note. They've been pretty good working with GitTip.
