Looks great, and it's a shame I can't sign up, since I'm in Canada. Is it just the need for a US bank account that's holding me back?

Our lawyers are looking into the international payments, but the honest answer is that it adds a ton of complication so we're only accepting US merchants at this time. Sorry, but if you email us at feedback@pintpay.com we'll keep you posted about when we intend to support Canadian merchants.

Cool. I got all excited when I saw this, because I'm starting a new project and need recurring payments right now, so this would have been absolutely perfect.

Since you guys are very experienced in this area, is there a competitor that you could recommend in the meantime? Maybe one that's not as bad as the rest, and that would perhaps slightly reduce the big effort of switching payment providers in the future.

This would be a nice thing to put on the FAQ page (country restrictions on both subscribers & merchants.) As an Australian I assumed I knew the typical answer, but I went to double-check anyhow.

(I assume also that when a merchant gets paid via Paypal not cheque, that means the merchant is also paying Paypal's 1.1-2.4%+Xc on top of pintpay's 3.6%+30c? Is that right?)
