Stripe Reviews

Stripe has a great API and SDKs to get up and running very quickly. It has one of the best API documentation I have ever worked with. It is in stark contrast with all the other payment processors I've worked with where the documentation is sparse and difficult to follow. You can also get started with Stripe without even creating an account, which makes the barrier to entry very simple. Compare this with other processors where you have to jump through several hoops to get a login.

Where Stripe falls apart is when you have lots of volumes, and you're using a lot of their features. Things get expensive fast since they charge for pretty much everything little thing. The fees may not be hidden, but there are so many of them that it's tough to know your upfront costs.

I feel like Stripe stands above the rest with a user-friendly, great back end experience for support. It's very easy to search through transactions and do what we need to support our customers.

I think Stripe is a great option to connect to your website. We've had absolutely no problems whatsoever with it ever going down or with transactions not processing. It's also super convenient to have an interface to log into and process cards if our wholesale customers call to pay their invoice with a card.

Stripe handles essentially all of your payment infrastructure for you – with little additional logic needed by you, and over the past few years they've significantly built out their additional features for things like invoicing, emailed receipts, etc. Stripe's initial selling point for us was their powerful and well-documented APIs, which, when coupled with their great technical support, has kept us happy over the years.

I'm less familiar with what it looks like to try to make use of Stripe without integrating with them via API; I get the impression that they similarly support manually entering and processing payments, however I can't speak to what that process is like or how it compares to the competition.

Stripe has interesting functions. It is a robust and reliable payments processor with good insights into your business performance and integrates well into an existing online store so our high grading reflects this. However, it really falls short at the length of time it takes for funds to be deposited into your business bank account, and I can't think of any situation where this long delay would be preferable to receiving funds sooner.

Stripe can to some good extent replace a solution that would otherwise be performed by an ERP system or its part. Since Stripe evolved as a start-up and gained its popularity in small firms, so startups will benefit from its usage. It would be less appropriate to use it in enterprises.

Unless you are spending time doing a ton of small dollar orders, I would absolutely recommend using Stripe. The single item tickets would be doable, but annoying and a bit of a waste with all the processing fees. For my purposes, as well as selling higher value items, Stripe is absolutely worthwhile. I check in on the app twice a month at a minimum just to make sure everything is good and running as it should, and I haven't been surprised or found anything out of place in my 3 years of use.

Stripe is perfect for a site that requires recurring billing, and the Laravel integration is very easy and very well documented. Stripe offers a lot of flexibility in designing your payment flow, look and feel from using their built-in popups for coding up a custom payment page. The quickest option uses popups generated by a JavaScript plugin, and those look great. We have not encountered any use cases where we needed to accept payment outside of Stripe.

It's well suited for businesses who wish not to have credit card processing machines and who use a cloud-based accounting software for easy payment collection. For a brick-and-mortar business who collects payments at time of service, you may be best suited to evaluate one of Stripe's competitors.

Stripe is great for many types of payment integrations. They have a rich feature set, extensive documentation, user groups, forums, and the price point is similar to their competitors. Stripe is good for small and large integrations alike. I haven't really experienced any situations where Stripe would be an inappropriate choice.

Stripe is great for both small and big businesses. It's ideal for SaaS companies that bill based upon usage amounts, or the number of seats used. However, Stripe can still be used for sservice-based based companies too, like web designers or marketing agencies. It's easy to set up services in the platform to start subscriptions with your clients, or even products (like a website) that just bill one time.

Stripe is a great product for a software development team, as integration process with new products is pretty simple. Also Stripe works great for business, especially as a payment tool for different services subscriptions. I would not recommend using Stripe for everyday personal use as fees are pretty high; PayPal would work better for this.

If you need to charge clients for a monthly service, Stripe is an excellent way to handle this. You can have clients sign up through your website rather than sending them off to a third-party website. It's a more professional way to gather payment information.

If your website is a flat-file website with no server-side language (such as PHP), Stripe won't work.

We use Stripe primarily with our online courses and membership sites through Kajabi. We think it's a great way to manage monthly subscriptions or recurring charges such as payment plans. We set everything up in Kajabi and then it just works in Stripe. When we shut down a membership program it was very easy to go into Stripe and cancel the recurring payments and also to refund people who had paid in advance.

Stripe is great for small businesses and ministries like mine. For someone with all kinds of clients and accounts, offering all kinds of payment options to those who are submitting money to my business is always a plus. No matter what payment methods they use, it gets wired right to my business bank account with no problem at all.

Stripe is perfectly suited for a software company. It is relatively easy to use, has the features necessary to accept recurring payments, and has enough integrations to fit into what you are currently using. However, I have a colleague who used this at a dental office that he worked at, and he said that it wasn't nearly enough to track the extra gears of insurance and down-payments, and they had to switch after several months.

The bottom line is the lower rate and return of fees when refunds are issued. These two items alone make working with Stripe a no-brainer. The ease of not having multiple credit card processors for different purchasing portals had made my life and my staff's lives so much easier.

If you are a small startup and want to have 100% control of your checkout experience (and have development resources), use Stripe. Whether it is subscriptions or 1-time purchases, Stripe is great at both. Similar competitors like Braintree are much worse (I've used them).

If you are a company that is already doing high volumes, try negotiating Stripe's fee, and depending on that decide whether the migration is worthwhile.

It's user-friendly, accurate, trustworthy. I always recommend Stripe and have not yet found a scenario where it doesn't work for our business. If you are using subscriptions or selling online programs or services, this is my go-to recommendation for entrepreneurs and business owners.

Strips would be well suited for receiving payments via credit card on a web platform. I do not know if it has the capability to receive payments from a non-web-based platform (similar to Square). The reporting has been accurate, but if you need to know sales tax and other info, a different platform may be a better option.

Stripe has a very-well made APIs, so it is very well suited for companies who want to build some e-commerce, subscription-based product using Stripe APIs. Because Stripe has pretty high fees, it is not well suited for small businesses, like small coffee shops for example, that do not have a significant amount of transactions.

If you have a subscription/SaaS business, Stripe is great and easy to administrate for the most part. If you have a one-off transactional sales platform, Stripe is not as useful -- I would use Shopify in those cases. If you are a contractor and billing for hours that vary monthly, Stripe is not a good choice -- there are better solutions available.

Stripe is well-suited for startup companies and small businesses that want a simple and trusted solution to capture credit card information and process payments. It is very out-of-the-box. The API for Stripe can be easily integrated into any web-based application and live within an hour. It does become pricey as you generate more volume in sales.

It is a perfect solution for small to medium-sized organizations.
