Overall Satisfaction with Stripe

Stripe is integrated as the payment method for Planning Center Online Giving, our non-profit giving solution. Our interaction with Stripe is streamlined through the PCO Giving interface, but we have also connected directly with Stripe to follow up on various fees or processes. Since COVID, all of our online giving has increased significantly, so Stripe has become an invaluable partner in giving folks a secure way to give donations through our website.

We selected Stripe largely because it was already integrated into Planning Center Online Giving - we had the option of choosing other payment processors, but it would have added work and complicated the information flow. Stripe made their services easy to adapt to, and the integration is very smooth. We saw no need to evaluate any other options.

Yes

Would you buy Stripe Payments again?

Yes

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.
