Ready :-)

Any idea on a timeframe for full UK launch?

Stripe is a service I'd love to use, however I'm not yet at a stage(small revenues) where it would be worth bothering you to be part of the 'closed beta'.

Feel free to email! That way you'll definitely get invited when we launch fully.

With regard to timeframes -- it really depends on what we discover during the beta. There are no major, obvious blockers right now, though.

Will launches in new countries start happening faster after the first one? I have no idea which part of the process is the major blocker for this kind of service, but I would imagine that if it's laws, then every extra country will take a lot of extra work.

I ask this as an Israeli that would love to have a good service, but seeing as we're a tiny country I doubt we're high up on the list :)

Email sent :-)

Perhaps we should all use the title "UK beta" to help you filter them.

Have sent an email ("Can you help us?")! We were using Stripe in the US but are having to switch to Braintree in the UK for legal and accountancy reasons. I'd love to be able to continue using Stripe.

I've sent an email too. I'd say "You have no idea how much this would mean to the English folk", but you do, so I can only sit and hope you accept me! ukjbrooks [at] gmail [dot] com :)

Any plans to do direct debit with the payment processer in the UK?

(sorry, if it states that in the TC article...but I don't click TC articles)

Is there a timeline on this wait list?

Email sent, super excited! :)
