Likelihood to Recommend According to my experience, it is best for all types of businesses. You can integrate with your blog, and website easily in some simple steps. You can accept payments through payment pages, and links where you can set expiry dates. When a customer finds various payment methods, he/she will use your services again and again, which will grow your business. It automatically records payments, and in case of payment failures, you can set up an auto refund without any hassle. But when it comes to customer support, their response time is long, and they mostly create tickets via live chat. You can set instant settlement, but you have to pay an extra fee for that.

If you have an eCommerce store Stripe will most likely be compatible with it. Even if you have a more custom site built using Wordpress/WooCommerce Stripe has a free plug-in that's ready to use.

I currently have to go to Shopify for that. The ability to be able to offer discounted rates at a smaller threshold would be nice.

All that is needed is a plan and then implementing that plan either with a developer, or through the help of Stripe's customer service team to assist in getting you setup. The ease of use time it takes to get up and running is second to none
Read full review Usability Best in class for usability. There's nothing close when it comes to how easy it is to use. Their knowledge base is great too if you get confused
Read full review Support Rating Stripe's support is nearly perfect – great attention to detail, fast response times, and a willingness to really dig into issues and get to the bottom of them. In the five years we've been using Stripe, the only negative thing I can say about their customer support is that it seems like there has been a slight shift to less technical front-line support agents, which means it's more likely your issue will have to be escalated before you get more information. This, however, has happened as Stripe rolled out more real-time support features like call and chat, and that really isn't workable if you're escalating everything right off the bat. It's absolutely an acceptable trade-off.

Read full review Alternatives Considered Easy to set up, and integration happens with simple steps. Various payment options. Easy to export reports. Instant payment notification and updates on dashboard. Useful for individuals, SMEs, and companies. Adding creative features from time to time for more improvement. The support team is responsive among other tools like
Paytm ,
Google Pay , and Stripe.
Amazon Pay is best when it comes to charges, but it has missing payment methods of Paylater apps, EMI apps. If it reduces its flat 2% charge, then it will trend at top.
Read full review We found that Stripe was much easier to have integrated with our site, as well as easier on the users when it comes to inputting payments. On our end, the dashboard and reporting are very easy to utilize and make it very easy to understand how our business is doing.

This was more related to the way that these companies set up the Stripe integration of my account to their platform. In both cases, the integration has not been possible and to this date, I still do not know why with exactitude. As I said before, the commissions kept by Stripe could be lower, and shared with the CC companies, rather than having us clients pay for all of o it. Read full review ScreenShots
