I wish there was a regular credit card payment option. As it stands, due to brain dead PayPal policies, I cannot use PayPal from the country I'm in, and I would really like to pay for the book.


This is in our queue. Unfortunately for us, since we're in Canada we can't use Stripe yet, or we may have already done this...


Was happy to pay the asking price if not more - stopped as soon as I had to use PayPal - dragged the slider to zero.


As a Leanpub co-founder, can you let me know which of the following would have worked for you: a) Google Checkout b) Amazon Checkout c) Credit card (via Stripe or similar)


Google Checkout then Amazon payments for me, but either would be fine.

Like a lot of people I'm vaguely uncomfortable with giving credit card details to companies I haven't heard of before & whilst I have a Paypal ID, I only use it for those places insist on Paypal (eBay mainly), so I can never remember the password and have to look it up. (Yeah, yeah, KeePass et al, I know, I'll get round to it at some point...) I use Amazon and Google often enough that logging in to them in order to make a payment isn't such a hurdle.


Not the OP: Google Checkout, followed by Amazon. (Then again, I'm biased ;)

Simply because it allows me to pay with something I'll always have handy, my user credentials. At any given point, I might or might not have a credit card close by. (Yes, I read HN in bed :)


My personal pref would be:

Amazon > Google = Stripe (I haven't used Stripe before and would be interested in the opportunity to try it out)


i would love to be able to pay with amazon checkout. google checkout would be great too. as a datapoint, one reason i didn't pay for the book was that i avoid dealing with paypal wherever possible.
