Stripe

I WOULD STAY FAR AWAY FROM STRIPE in my opinion!

Its been now 1 year that Stripe does not seem to be having interest to resolve my problem. On my very own website, my own card is being declined by Stripe. Upon using the same card via Paypal the transaction is successful. Upon individually verifying there is absolutely no problem with my issuing card or my bank. I have already verified that by speaking to them. It seems like Stripe just want to continue declining without giving a valid reason. My customer conversion rate has taken a massive hit due to this. Looking for good alternatives.

Stripe shut us down after processing $8k~ of payments, as they flagged us high risk, we take credit card authorization forms on everything and are a CPA firm, one of the lowest chargeback industries.

They also took back the money after we provided services, making it stressful for our team

Very well suited for small businesses that want to accept credit card payments without using a bank merchant account and paying monthly fees. Also, the transaction fees are low, the setup is quite easy, and it integrates with most online software and platforms.

Held 50,000 EUR and asked me to take a loan to pay my contractors.

I'm a small business owner, who organises workshops for dancers once a year. This year, to increase the experience of participants, I decided to accept card payments with Stripe, instead of manual transfers. Stripe without any warning froze 50,000 EUR and after a few messages going back and forth, they said (get ready for it)... to take a loan so I can cover the costs, as they will not release the funds until the event takes place (!!!). It's the 4th time I organise this workshop, never had a single dispute, and I run a legal, registered business.I don't have any funds to cover the costs, and my credit score is too low to take a loan (what's being ridiculous itself), so now basically I'm stressing out, crying, and seeking legal advice, to not get massacred by the community I've been building for years and lose my future in extreme debt. I believe you should avoid it like fire, especially if you're a small business.

Stripe is very suitable for small businesses. They provide you with a nice portable CC scanner when you sign-up. 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 think Stripe is well suited for most businesses. We are a smaller business, but I have seen it work very well for larger organizations. It does a great job of processing payments from users on our site, but we sometimes run into problems with certain banks when it comes to authorizing payments.

Stripe is amazing for anything you'll be processing from a website—E-commerce, website forms, management platforms, etc. To my knowledge, it's not best suited for a POS System, but I'm sure that's something that is integrated with other platforms so that they can offer it. Ultimately, it's well suited for most scenarios.

I launched a product over the holiday and needed a quick and easy way to sell the product from my social media account and Stripe made that process easy for me. The best part about having a Stripe account is the ease of use and no monthly fees or minimums. I'm only charged a minimum transaction fee of 1% on each of my payments and the money is sent to my bank account within 5 business days. Also, while setting up my products I can put my Stripe account via my account's API in test mode to make sure everything is set up accurately.

Stripe is an easy payment process to implement for small to large businesses. There are no fees unless you take a payment.

Stripe is well suited for a small business with limited reporting needs. Large customers can also find it useful though. The reporting is confusing to use, and some reconciliations and tasks had to be very manual as a result. It is easy to refund customers and manage and cancel subscriptions.

In my experience, Stripe is the ideal payment platform for implementing online payments on a website. It is also an ideal choice of payment gateway when setting up an online store using WordPress and one of the many e-commerce plugins like WooCommerce.

Stripe is great for processing payments and donations made through PCO Giving - they are integrated well and function largely in the background. When we've needed to, we've easily accessed Stripe directly to double check things. If you're trying to integrate with another payment processor or backend program that has an existing relationship with another processor, Stripe may make things more complicated.

Stripe is well suited for service-based businesses that are online. Stripe makes it easy to process payments for digital products that are information based. It was easy to set up and sell my services and digital products and receive money in my account within a reasonable time. I wouldn't recommend Stripe for product-based businesses.

In our experience, Stripe is very useful if your business would like to quickly process credit card payments for invoices, especially if your customers are worried about maintaining PCI compliance. We have been using it with our current ERP for over a year and it has been very helpful, however in trying to transition Stripe to our new ERP, we have experienced some delays and complications.

If you are starting a SaaS product and looking for a reliable payments processer with a robust API, Stripe is a great play. The Stripe Checkout platform manages payments and invoices to reduce the heavy frontend load associated with building a payments experience for your SaaS. Definitely worth checking out!

If you want to get started fast with accepting Credit Card payments, Stripe is perfect for you because you can create custom payments and the most shop websites have an integration for Stripe. If you're developing with Stripe it's a very good experience either because the API is well documented and with the test mode you can try everything as much as you need.

Stripe is well suited to any business offering online sales because it's easy to set up and use. I would say that any online business that is selling specific products would benefit from using Stripe. I'm not sure Stripe would work well for highly technical products that may need customization.

Stripe is incredibly versatile with endless scenario options to use the platform. Outside of the standard online ecommerce payment gateway, which works seamlessly, I find the direct invoicing and related subscription options to be very valuable and can provide companies of all sizes with an option to refresh their billing models and collect new forms of revenue.

The main scenarios I would use stripe for are for ecommerce sites. Though I only use woocommerce I believe they integrate with a lot of other ecommerce platforms. If you need to get something setup very quickly and going Stripe is probably one of the quickest ways to get an account up. They make it easy to put sales dollars right into your account.

I am a single owner LLC with a couple of contracted workers. That means most of my business dealings are my responsibility, but I don’t have a lot of time to deal with problems and I need things to run smoothly. I sell digital products and coaching services. I had a monthly subscription program for a year. Stripe has been well suited for me, whether I needed monthly fees collected for my membership site, payments for one time purchases, or payments split into 2-3 charges. i am glad I have Stripe working for me.

If you are running a SAAS-based solution and are looking for a payment gateway that can be integrated into the platform for ease of usage of the customers of the solution. Recurring payment settlements are also easy to perform. The security of card information is also a key thing that stripe does well.

It is great when selling programs and services/products on a more global scale. Great for passive processing of payments.

It's and outstanding alternative to PayPal. It's very easy to integrate payments with checkout platforms like Thrivecart.

It's a great payment processor if you sell online products, courses or services.

It may not be the best option if your buyers tend to make compulsive purchases, since in this case they will look for their credit card information, something that takes a little more work than simply using your email as PayPal does.

It's great for simple sites and small e-commerces, while I noticed it was harder to handle in bigger websites with shared carts.
