Best payment processing service for any business

5-Star easy-to-use payment processing service, and any time further detail is needed on a transaction to help a customer or resolve an issue, Stripe provides great detail on all transactions making it possible to provide valuable information to customers to resolve issues, and ensure the customer gets what they pay for and the business receives the payment for goods/services as intended.

PROS

The easiest to use, inexpensive fee structure and top-notch fraud prevention - Stripe is hands-down the best payment processing system I have used in my 10+ years leading Customer Support teams. With the exhaustive detail Stripe provides on every transaction, businesses and customers alike usually have an easy and secure experience checking out with Stripe.

CONS

Very few cons if any with Stripe. They seem to get things right in most aspects.

Reason for choosing Stripe

Better overall offering was provided by Stripe

Reasons for switching to Stripe

Ease of use, integration with website POS management systems, fees, regions of availability

Convenient and Essential for Payment Processing

PROS

I love that I can set up subscriptions and that I'm able to present both a payment button or a product description on my website. Sending payment links is super helpful as well for doing business internationally.

CONS

3% processing fee is steep and so I don't really like that they charge so much for payment processing but to be fair, I appreciate the ability to take international payments easily.

Reason for choosing Stripe

The ability to process and set up internationally

Reasons for switching to Stripe

The ability to register internationally.

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.

PROS

Great number of easy to use options. Perfect for online businesses

CONS

They 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.
