Integration is always smooth and seamless and the support agents are a bliss to talk to. I love Stripe's "customer portal" feature that allows my students to directly manage their subscription - upgrade, cancel, change details. > > **Cons**: The AI agent that you need to overcome each time you're reaching for support is so bad. It doesn't understand the question, provides wrong instructions and loses your time until you finally get it to connect you with a real human. I wish companies stopped using annoying bots to provide support - they are never ever as good as people. > > I've had a wonderful overall experience with Stripe. I am rarely using Paypal in my projects and online stores anymore. ----- ### "Great but…" — 4.0/5 > **David James** | *12 February 2026* | Civic & Social Organization | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its ease of use is a breeze. I especially like the fact that the platform provides a pre-funding message to inform me of its pending release. > > **Cons**: I’m wishing the time from the donation submitted and the time of actual deposit were shorter than several days, considering the fees charged. > > I have been using and counting on stripe for several years, and rely on it solely as our means of receiving donations. ----- ### "Strong Point of Sale Tool" — 4.0/5 > **Jaya** | *19 March 2026* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Stripe is easy to set up and use. It supports multiple business accounts and features easy tracking. Payments process smoothly and the software allows you to send invoices to clients as well as build a checkout page that accepts most online payment methods. > > **Cons**: Interface is a little tricky to learn, but the setup wizard guides you through it and sets you up for success. > > Great point of sale tool for small business owners that can be used online and in-person as a payment tool. ----- ### "Disappointed in Dispute Handling and Customer Service." — 1.0/5 > **Dante** | *12 January 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: Integration with other tools allows me to easily add payments seamlessly into websites and other software without hurting my brand. > > **Cons**: Customer Service. I would not recommend Stripe. They mishandled a dispute in my case. A client requested a refund after work had already been underway for several days, falsely claiming that no work had been completed. I provided evidence of the website work, message records, screenshots, and my written refund policy. I also documented the client’s refusal to communicate and move the project forward, which created the delays. Despite publicly posting my work, the client continued to claim that I had done nothing. Stripe still ruled in the client’s favor, despite the documentation provided. > > Experience is mixed. The ease of integrating the tool into other software is the only reason I used to recommend my clients use it, and have myself. Whenever having to discuss issues, their support seems to lack the knowledge I believe is needed for properly helping customers. In addition, their handling of my recent dispute has given me little faith in using tools like them. ----- ### "Good stripe\!" — 5.0/5 > **Simon** | *14 February 2026* | Paper & Forest Products | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I’ve used stripe in a few projects to collect payment. We’re currently using it successfully to collect payments form clients via a payment portal. > > **Cons**: I can’t really fault stripe. Maybe if it cost no money I’d like it more but it might not be as good if it didn’t charge me\! > > Smooth experience with simple set up and no real issues in use. A good piece of payment software. Not a bad price. ----- Page: 1 / 134\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/49509/stripe?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/49509/stripe) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
