Stripe is working hard to expand their international support (add Canada to
your list along with 8 other countries currently in beta). But I would
agree that PayPal has the best international/currency support. With PayPal
I can be located in the U.S. and accept payments in a variety of currencies
(as long as I enable my account to allow it). But to my knowledge with
PayPal you either have to transfer customers to the PayPal site for a
portion of the processing OR deal with credit card numbers hitting your
server and thus having to deal with PCI compliance. I don't even know if
PCI compliance is possible with App Engine so that may just leave option #1
(transfering customers to PayPal for a portion of the processing... a
perfectly viable option... just less than ideal imo)
