Great idea! The reason we didn't include this is because yearly automatic subscriptions causes chargebacks, due to people forgetting about an annual charge. Something we might implement is a renewal type annual feature, which will remind customers to renew.

Hi, the net 60 is just during the beta period and really there to combat fraud. I assure you it is not to help "bootstrap."

We intend to lower it later to 30 days. Edit: if you email us at feedback@pintpay.com we would consider lowering that number from 60 for approved/verified merchants.

Hi thanks for the feedback. Here's a quick price comparison:

But yeah, we hope to add a lot more value in the future than just handling billing.

Yep, that's exactly why we've gone with Net 60 during the beta. We will definitely consider lowering it in the future. Thanks Patrick!

Yep, you're exactly right. We're working on that right now and it'll be up soon.

Yep, we're working on this now. We'll have that out shortly.

You raise some excellent points. I guess all I can say is this is just the messaging during the beta period for our initial users. We will definitely change/fix this messaging before launch though to address the issues you've raised. Once we verify/approve a merchant, we could definitely lower the time.

Edited.

We'd also like to add CNAME support so you could have pro.yoursite.com show the payment page you make on PintPay. We're also working on an api and webhook / URL postback for info about changes/notifications/cancellations on subscriptions. A lot still to do during the beta!

good questions -- we're working on an api and postback right now during the beta. Should have those up soon. But yes, we'll support URL postbacks for all kinds of subscription changes (new sub, changed sub, etc). The net 60 is just during the beta and we would consider lowering it for anyone we approve/verify as a legit merchant.

Good question. From the FAQ:

Do I need to worry about PCI Compliance?

Nope! By using PintPay, you never store credit card information on your servers. In fact, that information isn't stored on our servers either.

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.

Hi HN readers, we're expanding the PintPay beta and allowing a few more folks to signup. We've added a new beta code for the first 200 hacker news readers. The code is "HN" (no quotes). Thanks!
