The stripe fee and the delay in receiving payment

Reasons for Switching to Stripe

Pros

Stripe is super convenient because it runs everything in the background, but I still have the control to go into Stripe and refund transactions, see canceled transactions, and see when they happened. I very much appreciate Stripe!

Cons

The fees are a bit high, the delay in money is a bit daunting, and there is the hassle of getting a new bank account verified.

Reasons for Switching to Stripe

Pros

We work a lot with no code, especially with Bubble.io apps. I've had the chance to integrate Stripe on various project and the speed of implementations, support and seamlessness is really what makes this solution stand out.
The user portal in which you can create your products, set up discount codes and coupons, personalize subscriptions etc. is really useful and it allows to set up your shop in a few hours.
We mainly use it for SAAS subscriptions and we've never had any problem with payments, processing speed or process clarity.

Cons

Although setting up and starting out is free, the credit card commissions, exchange commissions and service for processing are quite high. Stripe eats a noticeable amount in fees, but still, it saves you so much time during the implementation and payment setup. As a startup it is really important to act quickly and have "set it and forget it" solutions for your infrastructure

Reasons for Switching to Stripe

Pros

The various feature embedded in Stripe for multiple different payment option capabilities is phenomenal. They have detailed outline of payment intents to look back at immediately should there be a problem with a debit or credit card that was ran for payment and they have security detection on transactions that don't feel genuine especially if running it manually. I love it. You also have the ability to send out invoices and payment links to customers saving the hassle of leaving their own home for a phone in order to deliver gifts to family/friends from miles away!

Cons

The only cons is the whole Ruby Gem and developer code setup if you don't know how to implement this on your own website you're building or even in your own cloud server or network server. It takes alot of research and how-to articles to read to start learning it as you go and if you're a beginner thats unfamiliar with command line basics and a terminal to launch from then you're in trouble! Ha!Ha!

Reasons for Switching to Stripe

Pros

I like that you can use Stripe to take debit and credit card payments and the charges are not as high as some other payment platforms. It is also easy to set up.

Cons

Some of the functionality seems clunky, especially for recurring payments. You have to manually set the end date.

Pros

I really love that Stripe integrates with so many different platforms. I love that you can set up autopayments so that I can set up memberships with ease, and don't have to chase anyone down for their monthly fees.

Cons

I wish that it was easier for folx to pay with debit, or paypal with stripe, so that all integrations could be in one place.

Pros

Its very easy to use

No setup fees, monthly fees, or hidden fees.

Cons

I do not have any negative views on Stripe

Pros

The logo is nice. The name is also nice.

Cons

Customer support is non existent. The arrogance of big business treats to customer as a problem rather than an asset.

Pros

Initially, doing business with stripe was fine.

Cons

Stripe can place holds on your funds or freeze your accounts without warning, especially if it deems a business as "high risk," often without clear communication.

Stripe lacks direct phone support in many regions, making it challenging to resolve urgent issues quickly.

Reasons for Switching to Stripe

Pros

Stripe offers great value for the money, and the dashboard is easy to use. It fulfills all of our needs.

Cons

If the form doesn't connect via Stripe immediately, it could be a little complicated to set up.

Pros

It seemed safe. And I THOUGHT that it was a good product. I was wrong.

Cons

They take your money, won't let you refund anybody, and honestly have the worst customer support known to mankind. A robot would actually be better.

Pros

What I like most about Stripe is its user-friendly interface and making payment processing seamless and efficient for businesses of all sizes with all the required features and Data security.

Cons

One downside of using Stripe which i think is its fee structure, which might be considered slightly higher compared to some other payment processing platforms, especially for smaller businesses (not with the multi billion dollar company )with lower transaction volumes.

Pros

It is easy for clients to make payments.

Cons

It can be overly complicated for the admin.

Pros

Stripe is an efficient and easy Payment System that we have incorporated across our B2C and B2B operations. It's a simple to use tool, and easy for both the company and the customer to set up one time payments, reoccurring billing, and PO Payments in Enterprise Procurment Systems.

Cons

There aren't many disadvantages that we have experienced. Billing set up can be a little manual to establish at the start, but ultimately it's an easy to understand platform.

Pros

have been a Stripe customer for over two years, during which all of my business transactions have been processed through their platform. The processing fees are competitive, and they offer the option for instant payouts, allowing funds to be transferred to your bank account within minutes. Additionally, Stripe provides business loans based on monthly revenue, which are typically available after maintaining a consistent relationship with the platform for a certain period.

Cons

I haven’t experienced any cons as of today. It really been a smooth ride with stripe

Pros

Ease of integration with the company I selected for my property management system.

Cons

Countless re-verification requests with no favorable response after sending business registration and several forms of IDs.

Extremely poor customer service with lengthy waiting times for retuned calls.

They made the decision to stop supporting my business without a single customer complaint or request for a refund.

They rejected payments from a lot of international clients based in Canada and the UK. This caused me to lose a lot of bookings.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Stripe

Pros

The ease of use, there are times when I can’t talk on the phone with a customer because I had one with me in person. I could send them to my website to make their payment and it would process immediately.

Cons

The fees taken per transaction and then the fees on top of that to transfer the funds and then the fees on top of that to keep the product. Too many fees

Also, I had a customer dispute a transaction with her bank and won $2K. Stripe collected $2k from me and didn’t help me. I had the customer on camera, I had the contract with her signature and I had all emails/text messages from the customer. Stripe processed the dispute and lost. After that, I didn’t trust stripe. I stopped using them.

Stripe interface is very good, simple and easy to use. It gives you a well-knitted dashboard to track incoming and outgoing in a first glance.
Stripe is very adopt-friendly, can be plugged-in with any existing tech stack (including low or no-code way).

No cons as such, but just to list one, In my country (India), people extensively use Unified Payment Interface linked with credit and debit accounts and that is not currently supported method. Would be great to have it.

Absolutely Everything, worst experience

The Lower Fees compared to other alternatives, And they are helpful to pay international clients, with stripe i was able to expand my business to North america too.

Cons

The identity verfications, I have verified the account once but it asked once again after 6 months.

Pros

Stripe was super easy to integrate, easy for clients to pay, and never have issues.

Cons

I can't see a report detailing what client paid what, but my other program does that for me. Customer support when I switched banks took them 4 weeks of not listening to me to fix my accounts. They asked for the same documentation over 8 times literally. Once fixed though, it was fixed.

Reasons for Switching to Stripe

Pros

NEVER USE STRIPE !!! check out their reviews! terrible !!!
THEY CANNOT SOLVE THE REQUEST.
IT'S JUST A WASTE OF TIME AND YOUR MONEY
AND CHAT SUPPORT SHUTS OFF COMMUNICATION AS THEY SEEM WITHOUT RESPONSE. MAXIMUM UNPROFESSIONAL. IT'S A BUNCH OF AMATEURS WHO BLOCK YOUR MONEY!

They are simply stealing your money

Cons

They stealing your money. we used stripe, the support is impossible at most not helpful, they refund the money to the customer without the customer returning the goods, I DO NOT RECOMMEND TO USE. use verified methods such as PAYPAL, GOPAY and other payment gateways because Stripe and Klarna are maximally incompetent.

Pros

Easy to integrate and works nicely with websites, making it accessible for businesses of all sizes.

Cons

Some users may find its pricing confusing, especially when dealing with additional fees for specific services.

Pros

I like how easy it is to implement Stripe payment ecosystem to a platform, I worked as a developer and worked for a company who used Stripe, very easy to use, you can change pricing, manage users/buyers/subscribers, very friendly and documentation very complete

Cons

I had no complains on that moment, beside that is a bit difficult to implement in Non-US based companies.

Pros

It is an efficient system, good reports, visibility of donors and events provides us the necessary feedback to evaluate the effectiveness of our fundraising programs.

Cons

We use Stripe through another party. While Stripe was going through audit verification of our business they put the transfer of our funds on hold. Our cash flow suffered waiting for them to complete their internal business processes. What business does that? They should have continued BAU finishing their processes without impacting our cash flow. Given a choice I would use another provider. I do not want to be held hostage to a providers internal processes and delays that put my payroll at risk.
