I would love to see someone drag it kicking and screaming outside of the US. :(

Providing international support is probably in the 'too hard' basket.

  I wish there were a trustworthy global payment operator a la Stripe.

    There is.

      Great. Who?

  Not too hard! We're working on it right now and hope to have international support soon.

    Maybe you could set up a mailing list that notifies international users when your service expands internationally?

  Too hard or not - it's a critical feature. They can lure me with the most advanced APIs and super low fees. If they can't treat international customers (on the consumer side at least) like domestic ones then it's a deal breaker. There are enough alternatives that have support for things like the Euro. They maybe don't have a fancy API but they work well enough and I can accept credit card payments from Uzbekistan in their local currency. Then there's the part where they only accept US developers. While I can understand that again there's enough alternatives (FastSpring for example) who don't mistrust me because I'm living in the EU and will do payment processing for me. I understand they wanted to launch ASAP with a MVP but maybe they cut down the wrong features. For me they are now another lazy payment processor who won't accept international customers and they will have to do some work to get rid of that stigma.

Also, it would be nice if there was somewhere I could drop my email address to be notified when Stripe makes it to the UK.

It would be great as a starting point to be able to charge in currency other than USD, I suppose that should be easier to set-up than accepting non-US based merchants. There are a lot of non-US people like me that have a SSN and US bank account from past US experiences that can already use Stripe in their home countries. But marketing a product in Italy with a price in USD won't cut it!

Would it be much extra effort to bring to Canada? I'd use this today if I could.
