Correct. Most user come from the e-commerce world and are willing to pay for the convenience of a simple, POS app.

That’s exactly right. Terminal solved a problem for me (I used to integrate Mattel card readers to a serious amount of pain). I worked with Stripe to help identify good ones, and they built easy to use APIs to integrate. This is exactly what they hoped for.

Hey, Ryan here. I don’t want to be bought. And in the end if Stripe decides to shut off the source, there are plenty of other things to build. Not to mention, tons of companies to work for. Just fortunate to be in this time and place right now.

I'd be happy to answer any questions if you have them.

Yeah, MediaTemple died at the most inappropriate time (again).

If I manipulated HN, I wouldn't know how I did it. Just luck of the draw I suppose, although there was much more traffic related to Paid today than there was last night.

I don't know who the person is that submitted this.

Why?

Yeah, a bug was exposed. We fixed it and submitted the fix to the AppStore today. The Stripe API is tricky, so we have to do some looping to get the data.

I think they're working on rolling out the platform to many more countries -- just haven't gotten there yet.

The monthly volume issue is a known bug -- something we missed while developing. We've submitted a 1.1 fix to the AppStore today that should resolve that.

As for the transfer, we gather that right from Stripe's API. Could just be some mislabeling on our side? Could you email me at: scherfryan(at) gmail?

Just wanted to let everyone know that we submitted a 1.1 today, which includes better crash reporting and some adjustments to the way we aggregate your daily/monthly volumes.

Well I really appreciate you saying that. Lucky for you, you're getting a good deal! Who knows, maybe they'll be more features or something you can buy in-app in the future. Like the Forecasting stuff talked about below.

I mean, you are welcome to send me more money if you'd like. :)

Good feedback though, thank you.

We'll take a look at this. We're about to push out a 1.1 with better crash reporting so we can look at this stuff.

As for the OAuth with Stripe -- it's a little slow and hokey, so our arms are tied there. Glad to hear you got in though.

Well, it says both. You can manage your Stripe account, and btw, it's beautiful.

iOS as a first step, once it's solid, Wess and I may tackle an Android app as well. Who knows.

This is actually an awesome idea -- almost like a forecast of the money you'll earn? Should be simple to do it programmatically. I'm going to add something to our feature list to explore this.

Really sorry about that! Can you email wcope(at)me(dot)com with any crash reports/comments that you have? We'll take a look.

Thanks @billycoover. When I ran my business, I opted to use the web interface provided by Stripe instead of downloading PayPad. It just didn't do it for me, so we created the app we wanted to use. Not a whole lot more to it.

Functionality may not be all that different, but the design is certainly different as it's focused on user experience, and not just transactional events.
