Timesaver when properly set up

Great experience overall, even though it's sometimes a pain to revisit flows or make adjustments to some settings; the platform has saved us lots of time and mistakes.

Functionality

Pros:

Once set up, it makes life easier. Lots of customisation in-app or through their API. It's easy to find customers, invoices and set up recurring billing and schedules. Great way to keep an overview of billing.

Cons:

Customisation sometimes doesn't go far enough to fit billing flows completely. When missing a feature or when a bug occurs, the system can prove to be quite rigid. Mistakes often can't be mended and have to be redone.

Reasons for choosing Stripe Billing

Stripe felt more solid during the testing period, and more aligned with our pricing setup.

Reasons for switching to Stripe Billing

Easier integration with our own platform and more functionalities to accomodate our growth.

Stripe is great for Start Ups

Overall, it's great for start ups who are bootstrapping their business and are counting every penny in the infancy stages of their business so it does save money until a transaction has gone through. Developer tools and documentation is pretty decent for merchant services. It isn't perfect but it does what it says and transfers into my bank account much quicker than the expected time frame.

Pros:

I've been using this payment gateway for the last 10 years but since the pandemic it has become my preferred payment gateway for the following the reasons. For building out an websites for clients I found the API's incredibly easy to implement. In fact I would say it's made flexible and easy to set up. There's no monthly fees so you're only charge a fee when a successful transaction is completed.

Cons:

The fees are a bit on the high side and getting any assistance was a bit sticky and it took far more time than I had the time for, I was expecting the service to be a bit quicker. I was walking a client through setting up her Stripe account and for some reason unknownst to me it would not complete the set up and the error didn't provide clear instructions on how to correct this.

Reasons for choosing Stripe Billing

I have had Stripe from the beginning and can't imagine going through the motions of changing it but I am always open to improvements, therefore shopping around for another alternative is a possibility but for now I'll continue to use Stripe.

It's okay for New Businesses

No big issues with the service itself, payouts were simple and you could track deposit dates for payout batches, credit card fees were comparable to all the other companies. No big learning curve-easy to use for small or new businesses

Pros:

Made receiving money and transferring to bank account simple and fairly quick, easy to get set up and establish you account

Cons:

Customers would dispute charges and no matter the reason and even with us providing complete documentation that customers received services, we would never win the dispute and were also charged extra every time someone disputed charges

Big business reliability, perfect for small business owners

Fantastic, I have never needed to shop around - but when I do Stripe still looks like the best option. It suits my small creative organisation perfectly. I'd love to see more features added for access control and multiple users, as well as automated commission calculations for my team.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Ease of use. Stripe integrates with my business workflows perfectly, and introduces helpful analytics and additional integration options, all of which are explained well and easy to manage. They also allow both scheduled and instant payouts with minimal clicks, making it really easy flexible for small businesses, or anyone keeping a clsoer eye on cashflow.

Cons:

It can be tricky to manage with multiple ecommerce instances - it's too easy to accidentally allow third parties to configure new stripe accounts rather than interfacing with an existing account. This hwoever is likely the fault of the third party rather than the stripe platform.

Pros:

Stripe billing made it easy to automate my business. It allowed me to take online payments from customers with ease. Fast withdraw to bank within a few days and super secure. Definitely have big trust in Stripe and their systems.

Cons:

The pay rate they take from each transaction is annoying and could be more reasonable. No major cons or flaws with their systems though.

Reasons for choosing Stripe Billing

Cheaper to go with Stripe and manage it ourselves. Shopify POS had less customisation options and felt restricted.
