Stripe is used in a few different methods. It is the payment processor through our website forms integrated with Gravity Forms. We use this to process payments for tabs at events. It goes through the form and then pushes the customer to a Stripe page to make PCI compliance easier.

We also use Stripe through our Event Management Software, Tripleseat, as our payment processor. The integration with Tripleseat allows us to easily reference back to each event and makes reconciling easy.

Lastly, we use it through Shopify, as Shopify exclusively uses Stripe for its e-commerce platform.

Stripe solves several problems for us. We are able to be consistent, see everything in one place, know the customer support is great, and ultimately make it easy for our clients to checkout.
  • Subscriptions through Stripe are easy to begin, enter, and then set and forget. It helps guarantee you get your monthly payments without constantly setting reminders to process manually.
  • Invoicing directly from the website is surprisingly easy, comes with several options, and customers know Stripe and know it's safe.
  • The number of integrations that Stripe has is endless. I can always count on Stripe being an option, so their integrations and API settings are incredible.
  • It would be nice to be able to see my Shopify payments from my main payment gateway. 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.
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.
  • Ease of Use
  • Ability to easily charge a card on file
  • Ability to easily refund a customer a total or custom amount.
  • We've had a 40% increase in revenue from using Stripe based on its ease of use.
  • The adoption rate to use Stripe and its easy entry was in the upper 90's.
Heartland is not even a comparison. I used Heartland for about five years. Customer service was non-existent, the technology was terrible. Stripe is in a league of its own when it comes to credit card processing and its abilities to assist you in just about anything you need to get done.

President of the company and our IT Manager. These skills needed to provide support for Stripe are actually pretty minimal since Stripe is so easy to use.
  • Website integration with Wordpress and Gravity Forms for online payments
  • Payments through Shopify
  • Subscription payments through website
  • Allows for tricky calculations through Gravity Forms that allows for tax and gratuity additions per municipality based on location of payment.
  • Invoicing for large music festivals to allow for quick payment.
  • Looking to use information stored in stripe from our event management platform and pull that info to process payment for on site payments through a different system.
  • Attempting to find an easy way to provide subscriptions or stored payment methods through Gravity Forms instead of inherently with Stripe.
Stripe is the leader in the industry when it comes to any type of industry. 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.
Yes
This replaced Braintree by Paypal for our cc processing through our event management system and then we used Stripe once starting to process on site payments.
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
The ability for Stripe to integrate with the platforms that we needed to integrate with, along with the ease of use in setting up those integrations while still offering several product lines for us to properly and efficiently process payments.
I wouldn't change my evaluation or selection process. The only thing that may be different is that I would have come to Stripe much sooner.
  • Implemented in-house
No
Change management was minimal
There was no change management needed for the implementation that we provided.
  • None
It took less than an hour to have everything setup and running.
Stripe support is fantastic in the amount of time that it takes for them to answer you, to their ability to assist and solve problems, even if they aren't directly related to problems with Stripe itself.
No. I've never heard of the premium support or what it entails.
No
I was trying to get a better rate for processing. While they weren't able to provide that discounted rate, they were able to explain to me why they couldn't.
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.
  • Refunds
  • Storing cards on file for future payments
  • Invoicing
  • None
Yes
The app works great. It's easy to use and provides all the same functionality that the website provides.

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.
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.
  • Stripe has been a little on the pricier side for us but has been a really positive experience for my team in working with their product. They also have great Customer Support. It's made our job easier to support the customer as well as not spend too much time researching things because they're so easy to find.
It's extremely user-friendly and easy to navigate.
I feel like our experience in reaching out to Stripe has been positive and they've helped us for the most part with all of our needs. There have been a few times that we had confusion around charges and they've helped us.
We selected Stripe because of the ease of implementation, and ease of use of the product.
