[bitfolk] Google Checkout's imminent shut down, credit card payments now available

Hi, Google are shutting down their Checkout payment platform as of 20th November 2013, so BitFolk will stop accepting payments that way around 12th November. As you may be aware if you are following the other list¹, credit card payments are now available. I suggest that refugees from Google Checkout pay by this means in future, and it would be great if everyone else paying by anything other than Direct Debit would consider it also. The initial implementation requires you to input card details every time and I do understand that is a major usability downside, so we will improve that as soon as we can to have storage and continuous authority as *options*. The credit card payments are going through https://stripe.com/ with the card details being passed between your browser and Stripe using JavaScript. All BitFolk gets is a unique token that we use with Stripe to kick off the payment, so we're not seeing or storing your card details at any point. Here's some more info about payment methods that are supported: https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/Payment_methods Cheers, Andy ¹ http://lists.bitfolk.com/lurker/message/20131021.081408.6fc996c8.en.html -- http://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting _______________________________________________ announce mailing list announce(a)lists.bitfolk.com https://lists.bitfolk.com/mailman/listinfo/announce
