Pros / Cons
- Features like subscriptions/billing, marketplace / platform support (via Connect), fraud-detection tools, payout scheduling, and dashboard analytics level it up beyond a simple payment gateway.
- Stripe caused me to create over 250 checkout pages on my website and didn’t tell me that I had to click a setting on their website so that I would receive notifications that a sale was made.

- Businesses save significant money by paying a flat monthly fee and the direct interchange cost (0% markup), avoiding the percentage-based fees charged by competitors.
- Stax set up cost me $12,000 in set up as when we switched clover system they didn’t do auto batch even though your onboarding staff said everything would be the same ..The lack of auto batch was discovered 2 months later which caused charges to drop & we didn’t get paid and those credit cards are no longer valid
