I am the founder and director of a Christian ministry that provides life coaching services to young women. I use Stripe to process payments for all of our coaching clients. Using Stripe is an important tool used daily in my line of work. It connects to my scheduling software and makes payments a breeze for my clients.
- Stripe does a great job of integrating with the scheduling software I use, Acuity Scheduling.
- Stripe painlessly processes payments from my clients and gets funds directly to my bank account.
- Stripe allows my clients flexibility in payment options.
- Stripe does take a processing fee off the top, which I understand (but don't necessarily love).
- If there was any way to get my payments faster, that would be amazing.
I am the sole owner of my business and use a software system called Simple Practice. I use Stripe to run my clients' credit card payments through my software system. All of the payments are set up on an autopay system. Go through each night at midnight following their sessions.
- Automatic payments
- Minimal fees
- Ease of use
Stripe is being used as our primary credit card processor. It is used to collect 80% of our revenue collection across the company. We have payments being made from all countries around the globe.
- Takes payments from all currencies.
- Has great detailed reporting.
- Dashboard is very detailed.
- Keeps customer records of payments.
- Stripe needs some help on collecting proper tax on purchases.
- Dispute timelines seem to be extremely long.

Today we are using Stripe for all of our product subscriptions. We are a SaaS company that has a monthly recurring subscription plan with additional add-on products. Stripe has become our source for billing all subscriptions. It is used by anyone in our organization who would need to be setting up subscriptions or products. This is typically finance, sales, onboarding, and support. It addresses the problem of an easy system that is organized when it comes to knowing who and what is being billed each month. Also, it's good at letting us know what is failing.
- Recurring billing.
- Subscription setup.
- Discounts and trials.
- It can used more detailed reports.
- Discounts can not be itemized only subscription based.
- Depending on users it can be a lot of info.

- We launched our company using Stripe. We used Atlas to incorporate our company in the US.
- Apart from this, we use Stripe to accept payments from our users. Plus, we use Stripe Issuing to issue virtual cards to our employees.
- Stripe is great. It is a go-to destination whenever we need to accept payments. The UI, integration, and onboarding are hasslefree.
- It helps businesses with their quick payments settlements time.
- Super easy to integrate into Product. There are great docs with live examples.
- Really quick bank settlement time.
- Unavailable in all countries
- Few products are invite only for long durations

I use Stripe on my website. When people buy a product of my website, they can use PayPal or stripe with their credit card. It has helped create more sales in merch and helped keep me financially organized with online sales. I chose it as Square was not an option for my website sales.
- Stripe was easy to set up and utilize on my website.
- Stripe has helped dramatically increase my online sales. It’s a simple check out process that doesn’t discourage clients from all over the world.
- I think it would be cool if Stripe, like Square, offered free sales credit rewards for their clients for referring people.
- If Stripe offered Apple pay, cash app, and Venmo, that would be beneficial for more financial outlets as well!

Stripe is used as our primary payment processor for credit cards and ACH/EFT payments or donations (as the back-end processor for both BidPal and Give Lively platforms we are using). It is used by our development, management, and finance departments - development to process gifts, management for reporting, and finance for reporting and reconciliation. It is a good back-end processor that offers very competitive rates to nonprofits with an easy system for getting those rates.
- Ease of processing
- Integration with Salesforce
- User friendliness
- Settings to collect data (we want to get addresses that are being collected by the cc payments anyway).

We use Stipe for our subscription activations. Stripe is used across the organization and is our main payment processor.
- Stripe has a nice dashboard
- Stripe has a basic easy to use navigation
- Exporting information is easy
- Stripe is limited when it comes to customization.
- Stripe is tricky when it comes to integration.

Stripe is used across multiple departments at our company. Our sales team uses it to double check invoicing and address any discrepancies with the Accounting Team. It is also easy to download past invoices and easy to search for customers and certain charges. It is simple to initiate a payment, create an invoice, and customize different variables.
- User interface - easy to navigate.
- Customization - ability to add as much info as needed.
- Notifications - notifies you if payments have failed and includes risk evaluation.
- Dashboard gives too much info for dept. use, may vary for others.
- Be able to export multiple invoices as a PDF at once.
- Getting to the invoices can be tricky if you have to click on multiple links.

- It processes payments in a secure fashion.
- It's API integrates with all of our platforms quite well.
- It has a nice user interface.
- It handles subscriptions and payment plans well.
- The reporting features could use some improvement. They don't always give clear details.
- They recently changed their policy so if a customer asks for a refund, they only refund the amount that went to us - they no longer refund the fee, which means that we essentially lose that 3.5% fee for any refunds.
- They also recently changed their policy so that the fee for international payments is higher than it was before, which is disappointing since we chose them based on the fact that their international fees were low.
- It doesn't notify us or users if they are on a subscription and their payments fail due to cards expiring. It would be great if it notified us of that.

We use Stripe to power our subscription billing.
- Payments are processed accurately.
- Way too much technical work required.
- Stripe hasn't improved its products substantially in 4 years.

Stripe is used as one of our primary payment processors in our core SaaS product. It enables online and in-person payments for our customers.
- Great documentation.
- Well architected API.
- Fast global expansion.
- Payment processing costs could be more competitive.
- Pricing is difficult to manage due to so many types of fees.

We use Stripe for credit card processing. Many of our departments internally use it and my experience with it has been on the Customer Support side. Stripe does a great job capturing everything we need while keeping the security of the customers and allowing us all the functionality that we need on the support side to look up charges and be able to refund, recharge, and work with disputes.
- Really great backend
- Overall functionality is solid and reliable
- Easy to look up information needed, and easy to refund customers
- I can't think of many areas to improve except for maybe do more competitive pricing.
October 06, 2019
We use Stripe for all of our website transactions and we use the website interface to process credit cards for wholesale customers who call in to pay their invoice with a card.
- We've not had a single issue with it not working.
- The interface is convenient and easy to use.
- I know our transactions are safe using Stripe.
- I have no negative feedback about Stripe.

We use Stripe to run our payment processing infrastructure. We're small, so as much as possible we've offloaded the work and logic of subscription, billing, invoices to Stripe. Stripe provides all of the pieces of how we bill our customers.
We further pipe their data to a couple of other places which provides us with additional insight and analysis into our customer behaviour, financials, etc.
We further pipe their data to a couple of other places which provides us with additional insight and analysis into our customer behaviour, financials, etc.
- Documentation: Stripe is extensively well-documented, with thorough docs on both the high-level components of their system, as well as best-in-class API documentation.
- Customer Support: Stripe has great, responsible customer support. Their front-line CS is remarkably willing to dig into an issue and look for out-of-the-box solutions when a specific feature or use-case isn't quite supported.
- Reliability: Stripe has given us every reason to trust their platform, which has been extremely stable and robust in the years we've been using it.
- Currency conversion: Stripe's currency conversion options (for transferring payouts) are not great, and that means that we've had to find another solution given what Stripe charges.
- Tax calculation and remittance: Stripe has been making major strides on this lately, but it's a big piece of the puzzle for many companies and they're not quite there yet; including that in the platform would be a massive win for their user-base.
- Radar: Stripe's anti-fraud machine learning tech is quite cool, and likely operates mostly out of sight, however when they surface possible warnings, they often come with so little information or context that they're nearly impossible to act on.

We use Stripe as our credit card payments processor for all card sales in our online store. In our experience, some customers did not want to use Paypal (mistakenly) thinking that they had to set up an account, so this covers those bases.
- Reliable function. We have never had any downtime, not any errors in processing.
- Lots of information at your fingertips. The analytics area are very useful.
- Ability to manage payments directly from Stripe such as refunds and view exact reasons why a payment might have been declined was very useful to have.
- Very easy integration into our e-commerce store.
- We never fully engaged with Stripe's full offering. Amongst other things it can hold customer data for regular billing and can be developed to become an order management system but a mixture of being well provided for by our own e-commerce hosts on our part, and a lack of "interestingness" to their offer on Stripe's part, meant we didn't research this any further.
- Dull interface: the dashboard went through a redesign a while back and we still miss the previous version for being clearer and more concise than the current
- Payments take a week to be deposited into our bank account. This is, in our view, far too long and it is the main reason why we'll be moving away from Stripe. However, this doesn't seem to be the case for all merchants so perhaps it affects only our territory?
- Some rooting around is needed to find reasons behind failed payments, and no notification is given that a payment has failed. This could be better communicated.
As a start-up, we leverage Stripe to handle payments and invoicing. At the end of each month, we generate invoices and monitor incoming payments together with our accounting software. It is a crucial part of the business since it enables our revenue generation and is used across the whole company.
- Ease of use.
- User interface.
- Pricing.

We use Stripe for 100% of our payment processing. It seamlessly integrates with our CRM and is very reliable. Since the app is also available on mobile, I never have any doubt about what is happening with our funding and can always keep tabs on it. It has industry standard rates and we get paid out in a timely manner, always.
- Stripe allows me to always a tab on my funds. I always know what's happening.
- Stripe offers consistency. I get paid in the same amount of time, on time, no matter what.
- I love the app provided by Stripe; I can check anything I need, whenever I need to.
- I would LOVE for lower processing fees, but at least they are flat and standard.
- It typically takes two business days for funds to process, but in the event that a billing date falls on a Saturday and the Monday is a holiday you won't see funds for up to 7 calendar days.
- One thing I wish for was that I could plug and play with QuickBooks easily.
We use Stripe for recurring billing for our SaaS product, and for one-off purchases from our site. We migrated from a different payment processor in order to provide a more modern and seemless purchase process. We are currently working to migrate existing customers to Stripe as well. When that is done, Stripe will be our only payment processor.
- Laravel integration. Our product is written in Laravel, which supports Stripe out of the box.
- Customer service. When I had questions during my integration, customer support was easily accessible, friendly and helpful.
- Modern UI creates a quick, seamless purchase process for the customer.
- The ability to generate one-off custom invoices (not associated with a specific product) allows us to bill for custom development services through the same payment processor.
- The backend dashboard is well laid out and provides lots of great information.
- Test mode makes testing purchases quick and painless.
- Great looking customer-facing invoices.
- Last I checked, coupons were only supported by coding up your own payment page using Stripe Elements. It would be nice to be able to add a coupon field to the payment popup provided by Stripe.

Stripe is our credit card processing tool, which we use to collect customer payments. We've previously had a credit card processing machine to process the few credit card transactions we make, but it got to a point where the fees associated with this machine no longer made economical sense, therefore we went searching for a web-based solution. Stripe integrates nicely with other services we use, so collecting online payments directly from our cloud-based accounting software is simple, and no more hardware to manage.
- Stripe integrates perfectly with our cloud-based accounting software, making collecting payments easy.
- The dashboard and UI are simple enough to log into and process card transactions via the phone.
- The reporting features are nice and also integrate into a BI platform we use to provide us with in-depth and accurate reporting of all credit card transactions we do.
- Their fees are reasonable and in line with their competitors.
- The UI is easy to navigate and understand, however if the homepage or dashboard was simplified it could make Stripe an even better solution than it is.
- Unlike some of it's competitors, it comes with no hardware to process transactions. Currently this is not an issue for the way we do business or run credit card transactions but as we grow and expand we may have a need for mobile-based hardware devices in the future.
- Although it's a competitive product, we'd welcome lower fees and quicker balance transfers to our main banking account from Stripe.

We used Stripe to handle the membership subscriptions to our product, as well as a la carte items. We tried a different solution at first, but it failed in various ways. Stripe has a rich feature set and great documentation, which are some of the main reasons we changed our implementation strategy to use stripe.
- Stripe has great documentation for developers.
- Stripe is easy to use.
- Stripe is easy to implement.
- The chargeback process needs some improvement and that there is a $15 chargeback fee. That being said, Paypal has a $20 fee.

Stripe is being used as our primarily billing system. We utilize it for both one-time payments and recurring subscriptions. Stripe is being used for all services we bill since it's such a versatile platform. It solves the business problem of how to easily collect money from customers. We're able to add customer information into the system once and allow auto billing to take place month over month, collecting revenue.
- Easy to set up. Getting the account set up is really easy. You just need to have some information on hand, but answering the questions/fields is very easy to get it running.
- Great dashboard. The main dashboard when you log in is great to give you an overview of current day revenue, past month revenue, YTD revenue, new customers, and other KPIs your business leaders will want to see.
- Very flexible. The best thing about Stripe is the ability to integrate it with almost any web platform, whether an iOS app or Wordpress website.
- Stripe is really focused on being developer friendly-- they could really improve the platform for those who aren't developers but are looking for some basic website integrations that look nice.
- UIX for adding customers/billing could be improved. Creating a client facing app or web portal would solve this issue and be relatively easy to build.
- Those are the only 2 areas of improvement I see-- otherwise, great platform!
Stripe is a great platform for payments. We use stripe platform as a payment solution for our clients software by integrating Stripe with their products. The integration process is pretty simple and the solution works great. We also use Stripe within the organization for many payments, such as payments for different products and services.
- Integration process is simple
- User experience is pretty smooth and intuitive
- Flat-rate pricing
- Customer service could use some improvement
- Fees are pretty high

We're using Stripe to handle our monthly plans with clients (website maintenance and hosting). There are times we need to change he cost of the monthly maintenance, and Stripe gives us the flexibility to make those changes without requiring each of our clients to go through another sign up process.
- The dashboard/backend has an excellent UI. It makes managing users, plans, etc very easy.
- Good feature set in the backend. They give you a lot of control over how you want to handle clients and the plans they're subscribed to.
- Their API is quite robust and well documented. Plenty of examples to help you achieve what you want to.
- Despite the API documentation and examples from third party sources, it can be hard to get setup. Given the number of commonly desired things to setup, it would be nice to have more pre-coded features to get started with less trial and error.
December 04, 2018
We initially signed up with Stripe to integrate with our Kajabi accounts. Stripe allows us to set up and maintain subscriptions with clients. It integrates well with multiple Kajabi accounts, bringing the money all into one place. It is very easy to set up and manage. They have competitive rates.
- Stripe integrates well with our multiple Kajabi accounts. It allows you to set up separate "businesses" under one stripe account.
- Stripe is really good at setting up and implementing monthly fees such as memberships.
- Stripe makes it really easy to cancel recurring monthly charges as well as refunding clients.
- Stripe is set up very much like accounting software. It works well for people that are financially minded - think spreadsheets - and not so user friendly in terms of interface. It could be a lot more modern and regular ol' Joe user if you get what I'm saying.
- They could always lower their fees.
- Stripe could also make it easier to get paid like PayPal does with PayPal.me
