[HCoop-Discuss] Alternatives to Google Checkout

[granito]

Short-term I think using Square is the best way to go since you're 
already familiar with it. Long-term I think it'd be good to use 
coinbase. You can set it to immediately exchange the payments into USD 
so there's no exchange rate risk for Hcoop, it just makes payment easier 
for people who may have difficulties paying otherwise.
