Never used stripe myself (maybe to buy things, never implemented on a website) but heard it mentioned a few times on the forum here.

I've implemented it once and it was very easy - both the technical side and the signing up and getting paid out part. Can't begrudge them their success at all, it's a very good product.

Same experience. Great alternative when a client balks at using paypal.

Sounds interesting. What sort of scale are we talking about here when using stripe/paypal vs needing a complete ecommerce solution?

The time I used it was a site for a courier company, so there was only one amount chargeable ('collect my stuff from A and take it to B') and no need for a 'cart' as such, so it was really easy, but the whole process is very streamlined.
