lachyg··on Ask HN: Who Has Solved the Third Party Payment Aggregator Problem for 2017?
(I work at Stripe) Have you checked out https://stripe.com/connect? We created this product to help solve this problem (creating a multi-sided marketplace).
lachyg··on Stripe has raised $150M more at a $9B valuation
(I work at Stripe.) We're working on it! What's your email? I'll let you know once this is live. (Alternatively, feel free to shoot me an email: lachy@stripe.com)

(I work at Stripe.) No, those rates are not an intro offer. Interchange, the largest cost in processing credit card transactions, is much cheaper in the U.K. than it is in the U.S., thus we can price lower.
lachyg··on Ask HN: How hard would it be to clone Stripe?
(I work at Stripe.) Where are you based?
lachyg··on Stripe in Japan
Hi Artemis2, if you process more than €30,000 per month, we can offer volume discounting [0]. Separately, we have support for 3DS in private beta.

[0] Including interchange plus!

lachyg··on Instant Payouts for Marketplaces
@vizzah: I work at Stripe. We're working with Visa Direct and MoneySend, and you're able to sign up and begin using it today. Let me know if you have any troubles, and I'd be happy to help.
lachyg··on Ask HN: Which payment provider do you use?
(I work at Stripe.)

Are you looking for a single integration that handles both PayPal and credit card transactions? Stripe users typically end up integrating both separately (though building a billing abstraction above both).

lachyg··on Stripe: Bitcoin
(I work at Stripe)

Correct! You set your price in USD, we present the amount in bitcoins to your customer, and guarantee you the price you set in USD.

The 'test' banner is indicative of which Stripe publishable keys you're using—test mode keys will result in the 'test' banner you see.

We do have ACH charges in beta! Email me: lachy@stripe.com and I can get you on board.
lachyg··on Stripe: Alipay support
We felt that Checkout was the best integration point because it let us do some nice dynamic authentication logic instead of Alipay's usual redirect-based flow. Given that subtleties involved, Alipay's constraints, and the fact that it'll no doubt need to evolve in the future (as compared to the static standardization of credit cards), I think it'd be pretty tough to expose it via a straight API.
lachyg··on Stripe: Alipay support
Are you asking if you can bring your own payment gateway for use with Stripe? (Sorry, I was thrown off by the payment form tutorial reference.)
lachyg··on Stripe: Alipay support
(I work at Stripe.)

The Alipay integration with Checkout works just like Stripe.js, in that it will return a token that you can charge instantly, or attach to a customer and utilize for subscription, invoicing and recurring payments.

lachyg··on Introducing Swift
This will also be incredible for ease-of-setup. Install Xcode, and you're ready to go. No other dependencies.

Setting up a dev environment can be one of the big reasons people fail to learn to program.

lachyg··on Spouses of Some H-1B Visa Holders to Be Allowed to Work
Hm? O-1 is dual intent.

Source:

8 C.F.R. 214.2(o) (13) “Effect of approval of a permanent labor certification or filing of a preference petition on O classification. The approval of a permanent labor certification or the filing of a preference petition for an alien shall not be a basis for denying an O–1 petition, a request to extend such a petition, or the alien's application for admission, change of status, or extension of stay. The alien may legitimately come to the United States for a temporary period as an O–1 nonimmigrant and depart voluntarily at the end of his or her authorized stay and, at the same time, lawfully seek to become a permanent resident of the United States.”

lachyg··on Stripe Checkout: Added an option to remove the "Remember Me" checkbox
We're actually testing a variant that does exactly this.
lachyg··on The Founder Visa (again)
The qualification is acceptance into YC as a founder.

> So here is a proposal for the US government: please let Y Combinator help allocate up to 100 visas to founders per year.

lachyg··on Stripe Checkout
We do require SSL for Stripe.js usage as well -- Checkout is built on top of Stripe.js, so it has the same set of security requirements.
lachyg··on Stripe Checkout
Not yet, though this is definitely on the near-term roadmap.
lachyg··on Stripe Checkout
It is -- Stripe stores the details across all sites that use Checkout.
lachyg··on Stripe Checkout
I'm afraid we don't support that use-case yet. If you'd still like to use Checkout, you could use it as a method for the user to add their card, and confirm the payment amount on a separate page. (the 'amount' field is not required)
lachyg··on Stripe Checkout
Thanks for the feedback! We're continually pushing optimizations, and have plans to make the CVC interface friendlier for those that are unfamiliar!

lachyg··on Hacker News Enhancement Suite (Chrome Extension)
This looks pretty cool -- would love a version of it that didn't modify the design. (Apart from the necessary additions to make it work)

lachyg··on Millions of Target shoppers face new debit card limits
Chase is issuing new cards -- the limits are temporary, and until the new cards arrive.

"Watch for your new card. We plan to reissue all affected debit cards and Chase Liquid Cards automatically over the coming weeks. Until then, you can use your debit or Liquid card with the temporary limits."

lachyg··on Startup School 2013 Videos Now Online
It's not so much that your post is blog spam -- in fact, it's good that you're getting the videos out there to people who would otherwise not know about them -- but to this audience, the much more valuable link is the direct YouTube link.
