Integrates seamlessly with everything
Very positive. Great alternative for start up businesses, or online businesses that can save a lot of time.
PROSSo you can use Stripe with invoicing and subscription software or you can build out your own system if you are a geek that is PCI compliant fairly easily. Almost everything has an integration option and if you get stuck with a problem for whatever reason you can log into the dashboard and usually figure it out from there, if you can't they have great support documentation and even a chat option. Compared to similar competitors you even save a little bit. I especially like their ACH fees, some of the lowest I've seen. An added bonus is that I don't have to pay for monthly statement fees or pay the annual PCI compliance fee and surveys because they add that into the flat rate.
CONSOnly thing I'd like to see is an option to download statements in a PDF format like previous merchant processing providers, but rarely do I need it.
Reason for choosing Stripe
I liked the interface and integrations a little more than Paypal plus I save a little bit on the percentage, not much but every little helps.
Reasons for switching to Stripe
Sage had a hard time integrating with things I needed, plus their interface was a bit more complex than Stripe. I first started with Stripe as a test with a few customers then made the switch within a few months.

Good option. Scalable
There are a few players in the space. All take a fee. And they are all pretty much the same. I like that stripe integrates with woocommerce, godaddy and Wordpress
CONSThe fees. They are the worst. Everyone had to get their piece though :)
Reasons for switching to Stripe
Integrated with woocommerce when I needed to move on from godaddy

STAY AWAY !
Stripe will decide to stop your pay-outs with NO reason and NO warning. You will battle them for weeks to try and understand why and get this resolved, without resolution and during that time they will ruin your business as you can't accept payments. You will not be able to speak to a human on the phone and email responses are slow and robotic. I have been with them for 8 years and they treat my company like dirt. DO NOT use them if you care about your business.

Stripe is a great way to start an online business and process payments
Stripe has been amazing. They've been clear in communicating what they've needed to ensure my uptime.
PROSGreat number of easy to use options. Perfect for online businesses
CONSThey charge a significant percentage to do immediate transfers but it's still worth doing, or you can wait three days or so ;)
Reasons for switching to Stripe
PayPal has turned into a much bigger trouble than they're worth for online payment processing and Stripe has offered more flexibility and ease of use for my clients.
