Stripe's 22-Year-Old Irish-Born Founder Is Just Getting Started
Ok, stripe's wonderful, but... why is stripe wonderful?<p>It's a payment service provider. An expensive payment service provider. They have an API. It's nicely written - but a nicely written API doesn't make a product. They're available in the US and Canada. OK, but there's a whole planet out there.<p>So, yeah. What exactly is it that's so amazing about stripe?<p>I work in eCommerce, run and developed a little platform that does a few £bn a year through it, so know my PSPs, and fail to see the differentiation.
