this looks identical to Square Cashtags; how is this different, is it just the European version?
Giuliano Iacobelli
@_jacksmith yep that's how they started. I don't know much about their broader vision but looks like they're doing a good job building an EU-based Cashtag.

@giuliano84 said it right, but let me add SOLO also accepts credit cards @_jacksmith
Max Ciociola
@giuliano84 you work for them ?
Orlando TM Merone
Thanks @giuliano84! Hi @_jacksmith, we'd love to get your feedback. :)

In the UK we got this thing called PAY-M its pretty convenient all you need is the phone number of the recipient so I understand how this can turn out to be useful in EU :)

Great product and great founders. Truly passionate about the problem they are solving.
Orlando TM Merone
Hey Hunters (thanks Giuliano)! SOLO is a platform that allows any (€) european merchant to accept credit and debit card payments without having to swipe the card through a physical device. The merchant shares his public and customizable profile with the customer, who can easily pay from any device. NO app and NO hardware are required, NO fixed costs and NO monthly fees. Only a small fee for each transaction. Choose your username, share your personal link with your payers and get paid in a snap (solo.sh/username/amount). (Eg. https://solo.sh/solosh/1.00) We'd love to have your feedbacks on any aspect of the product!

Hey guys, thumbs up for the product (was actually thinking to create identical last week). Feedback: hire a good UI Designer, the form to pay is everything but accessible ;)
Orlando TM Merone
@mnlfrgr thanks for your feedback. What would you suggest? :)

@orlandotm @mnlfrgr No need to reinvent the wheel- Just good UX/UI principles. This is a good starting point => http://www.smashingmagazine.com/..., also this one => http://www.formsthatwork.com/. My 2p: - more contrast between the form & the background - better icons (more helpful) - much clearer call-to-action These are my 2p, overall good job guys, ciao!

Like Bitcoins - but - with a commission
Matthew Howells-Barby
This looks great. How does it differ from the likes of Stripe?
Giuliano Iacobelli
@matthewbarby not much right now, they're just focused on a different market as Square Cashtags is not available in EU yet.
Edoardo G. Raimondi
@matthewbarby SOLO accepts also credit cards while SCT is debit card only. Thanks for your interest!

@edorai is it available in the UK? Tried signing up but while it lets you select UK as citizen it's not on the country list.
