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.

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.
PROSThe 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.
CONSVery 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

Trusted Provider, Can Be Expensive in Fees and Time
Good, trustworthy, reliable, efficient, and quick to set up. The only downside is watching your overall transaction fee costs and planning your cashflow schedule to when payments will actually be paid out.
PROSWe wanted to go with a trusted digital payments provider--and have never had a client or customer mention they couldn't use Stripe. Secure, reliable for both parties in the transaction, and easy to both set up and use as a consumer.
CONSThe payout fees on transactions can really eat into the cost of goods and services; further, it's important to note that payouts to the supplier/provider can take at least several days.
Reason for choosing Stripe
Ease of use, expected credit/debit card processing. Good for Enterprise transactions.
