Ask HN: Stripe alternatives with worldwide merchants for non-business
Hi.
I'm just pissed off, because I can't find any payment gateway, which will support merchants in any country (Stripe is awesome, but it requires to be located in specified countries). PayPal is global, but it's painful to implement this (I've implemented it using ActiveMerchant, it redirects user to success page and it doesn't charge user).
Are there any other payment processors which works in other countries than US (I live in Poland) and don't require to have company set up (company in Poland costs a lot, even without any revenue, so it's not an option right now). Check out Spreedly. https://spreedly.com/ Integrate once and your app/site now supports 71 different payment gateways. You can test and swap them just by changing one token in your code. Here's the supported gateways, including 8 in Poland:

Braintree is a good alternative and it was recently picked up by PayPal. They also offer first $50K in sales transaction fee-free.
