Adventures in integrating payment services as a Dutch business

This is similar to my experience - a paypal alternative that doesn't suck would be awesome.

One problem they have is being Dutch and not being supported by many services because of that. I believe anybody in the EU can start a UK company (cheaply) and company directors are allowed to live abroad. Your company needs a UK office address but that be provided as a service along with mail forwarding.

Unfortunately that would also mean getting our money in pound sterling, something we'd rather avoid. If there are no better options out there we might settle for it, but I'm betting HN can come up with something before then.

Shameless self promotion

That's the kind of pain we are trying to solve at http://PayFacade.com. We offer a unified payment API that let's you connect seamlessly with many payment providers in a mouse click. We also recommend the best payment provider for you depending on your country, monthly revenues and typical transactions.

Looks cool, and I'd love to try you out, but I need a production-ready service whereas it looks like you're still in beta.
