I've been using this for a few weeks, and it's great.

It's the Square Cash equivalent of "billing" or requesting money. Just like it's easy to CC cash@square.com when sending money, it's been great to be able to just send my URL to people when I'm collecting money.

Only for US?

(I work at Ribbon)

Unfortunately, yes.

I'm an Egyptian national myself, so I completely understand this concern and would love to add it very soon but given regulations, compliance and financial service hurdles, it will likely take a while.

I couldn't find your merchant agreement easily. Can I sell electronic cigarettes with your service?

Some others like WePay and Balanced allowed it for a while and ended up changing their ToS but grandfathering vendors in. So, I have been waiting for a new payment service to come about.

Canada soon? :)

I hope so!

Don't see any kind of FAQ or further information. Would be nice to have that at the bottom of the page.

Does it work throughout the US? Square Cash doesn't work in a few states.

Our apologies! We'll be adding in a FAQ very soon.

In mean-time, email me if you have any questions? hany@ribbon.co

Sorry for hijacking, but does Ribbon have an opinion on Bitcoin?

Venmo got bought by Paypal. Maybe this will replace them before they go downhill.

Awesome product that's mobile oriented too. It's nice for my friends to not have to download an app to pay me back for one meal.

How do they make money?

kloncks5• 12 years ago

We make all of our money from the merchant product that 10k merchants are using. We've been doing that for a while now. (o.ribbon.co)

It allows us to build a consumer version and give it away for free :)
