Usually true, but not always -- for people in "high risk" countries Paypal sometimes refuses to accept a credit card unless you create a Paypal account first.


Got it. Thank you. But isn't this a separate issue and more to card issuance by Visa/Mastercard/Diner's etc? Won't Stripe likely have the same restrictions to cover themselves...or in time after they've been burned enough as well?


Stripe doesn't need to "cover themselves" as much as Paypal, since they have more information about their merchants and hold on to money for a week.
