Stripe's documentation and API are an example for the whole software industry. Clear, easy, polished, powerful amongst it's qualities.

It is really good and fast, cheap commissions, good integrations. I recommended on most of the cases.

The good documentation and testing environment is a great advantage. Without having to wait for banks to provide you with payment and administration environments that take weeks to give you access.

And has superb documentation. Also has sdk ready and up to date for popular languages, due to its popularity it’s easy to find integration into most popular software.

Yeah ---- NEVER have I experienced this with Stripe. They have a beautiful online system, they have happy employees ---- that can only mean Stripe really knows how to stay in business.

Once I had a problem they is no customer support. They were withholding my payments.

API docs and technical support are outstanding. This is a developer-first system.

The thing that i hate the least about this is that you cannot get a live person on the phone and you have to deal with issues via their portal, cant manage disputes very well.

One quality I particularly appreciate is the ability to accept payments in a variety of international currencies.

It is easy to pull any report (all transactions, summary or detail, numerous reconciliation reports). Their customer service is great too, easy to reach and is very responsive.

Hello there, we are really frustrated and sad about Stripe cancelation fees and Stripe dispute method. We won't be working with them anymore.

Customer service is excellent, the product itself is excellent, and it fulfills all of our needs and the needs of our clients.

My overall experience is very good, I really reccomend Stripe to all my colleague over competitors for it's amazing admin panel and customization, and the painless payment procedure for the users.

They produce great reports, there is good security and it is easy to set up with all types of businesses.

The ease of use and the ease of integration to my website were definitely the best parts of this software.

It is very easy to implement in apps or websites, with a big time saving thanks to the components already available to everyone. It is an excellent alternative to Paypal.

I loved how easy it was to integrate Stripe with other tools I use. I loved how easy it was to create subscriptions.

Overall I love Stripe - and I think it really is the best subscription software out there and I recommend them to everyone I can.

The software is secure, easy to set up and the ability to have multiple payment streams under one business is great.

On top of all that, the fact that the system is nearly seamless -- and MORE secure -- for the end user inputting their credit card information, is a huge win.

It has a very good UI and is very easy to use and deploy. It offers a very competitive rate in the market and offers a variety of payment methods.

The documentation is easy to use with great details. The portal (or Dashboard) contains great information and navigation.

They don't fight at all for the business. If it is disputed, you'll end up losing money on the transaction.

I think Stripe is a fantastic product, and they have been very reliable, but they need to be more competitive on credit card processing fees.

It seamlessly integrates with our business software and makes accepting money from clients super easy.

Ease of use (Deployment and continuous use), reasonably priced and wonderful Customer Service is what makes this software so great for me.

Windaward refused to provide refund despite us doing the mandatory 60 days.

This is a good and affordable option. Its is fully integrated, from POS, accounting and Inventory control.

Bad System it never works and is most just down. Bad support you rarely can get a hold of these people.

Support is always helpful, sales team is knowledgeable, software is easy to use and looks great, training website is great.

No support for Sys5Script.exe any more. The template editor is very unpleasant to use.

Even the lovely receptionist is awesome has walked me through issues on more than one occasion.

All that time I spent, all a waste, the time my staff spent which I paid for, such a waste.

Inventory control and details that can be entered into each item is awesome. Customer sales tracking is great.

There are occasional errors that pop up and random issues. But 90% of these are self-resolving (very intuitive software).

It's a great system and helps keep our inventory, estimates, sales and receipts organized.

Looks like there are a lot of great features, The interface has a great look and feel. Fully support with online order processing.

My accountants find this aspect frustrating. They really should offer an integration with QB for those who want it.

I like the reporting ability and the integration across all departments, jobs and overall robust accounting ability.

This company has a terrible attitude and software package that has become so unstable windows 95 has become jealous.

Like the product, it does most of what I want it to do, being my business is automotive repair. The support team I've dealt with has always been helpful and pleasant to deal with.

The ability to expand on transactions no matter which module you are in is a nice feature. The GST function is also very good.

The daily technical staff in are in a Philippines call centre, they failed to fix most issues. Due system glitches we had no choice but to leave despite due to it harming our business.

We needed a lot of hand holding when we first started--I had no previous experience with POS software--and Windward successfully guided even a slow learner like me.

Documentation is very fragmented, incomplete and sometimes just wrong. The user interface is not intuitive and a long way from modern apps.

The ease of checking our inventory is terrific. Setting up a new customer is very easy.

Updated: By Far The Worst POS I've Ever Used (Support Included).

Sales/Upsell warnings can be on a report, but not data loaded. Purchase warnings can be data loaded, but not put on a report.
