On: Stripe Chargeback Protection

[bjonathan]

I run an ecommerce website in France, and I use Stripe (french account), and I get a couple of chargebacks per year. Usually, it's the customer who gets his CC stolen, blocks it and declares all the transactions in the timeframe as fraudulent.

FWIW, I have had 10 chargebacks and lost the dispute for each of them even with the delivery address matching the CC name and the proof of delivery... But I will pass on this protection, the price is way too high for us.

I was using their product, I paid for their product and they shut it down without notice ? Classy move !

Great idea, I was previously using Filestork but they closed a year ago ( https://twitter.com/filestork )

Oh hey! I hadn't heard of filestork. Why did they shut down?

Very nice ! The app crash when i want to login or "remove the ads" (android 4.2.1 / Galaxy Nexus GSM)

I am currently using this one : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glebpopov.... but yours is good enough to consider a switch :)

Very interesting, but why change the button when it's time to "Go"? You could keep the arrow and just change the background color to green.

This will also allow me if I am distract to know where to go.

The product seems interesting but the video is wayyyyyyy too long(4:48 ! ) and doesnt get to the point soon enough.

I think a short video (less than a minute) would be more effective.

[mrchess → bjonathan]

Agreed. You need to get this down to 30 seconds or a minute. It is way too long. I watched for like 20 seconds and had no idea what the hell was going on... didn't find out for a good 2 minutes. Nobody is going to watch it.

On: Show HN: My first try at a WordPress plugin

[bjonathan]

The plugin seems nice. IMO, you should add all the names of the services compatible in your description (useful to the potential buyer, and for the SEO in Codecanyon) and you could add a screenshot of the plugin admin.

Good luck !

Hey thanks for the advice! I will definitely get those things added.
