Half and half

Comments: It was really congusing for me as a buyer my first time working with stripe. However after checking out their platform an reading a bout it i understand it a bit better now an can see where it would be a great asset under certain circumstances.

Pros:

Its a great platform to use from a selling standpoint... super easy to use, an very user friendly

From a buysers stand point its confusing to get a notification that stripe has charged your account an yet wont tell you what its for or who its from.

Great payment solution

Pros:

It is very easy to setup on most of the platforms and even can be used on its own. Fees are among the lowest on the market.

At the moment no crypto currency payments are available.

My take on stripe

Comments: The system was user friendly and convenient

Pros:

Easy to use. Customization functionality

Cons:

Reactivating account process a bit longer

Stripe is a Reliable and Efficient Payment Processing with Additional Business Support

Comments: Overall, I love Stripe! I have had nothing but great experiences with them, and I plan to use stripe with all of my future businesses.

Pros:

have been a Stripe customer for over two years, during which all of my business transactions have been processed through their platform. The processing fees are competitive, and they offer the option for instant payouts, allowing funds to be transferred to your bank account within minutes. Additionally, Stripe provides business loans based on monthly revenue, which are typically available after maintaining a consistent relationship with the platform for a certain period.

Cons:

I haven’t experienced any cons as of today. It really been a smooth ride with stripe

Easy to implement, easy to manage, easy to use

Pros:

I like how easy it is to implement Stripe payment ecosystem to a platform, I worked as a developer and worked for a company who used Stripe, very easy to use, you can change pricing, manage users/buyers/subscribers, very friendly and documentation very complete

Cons:

I had no complains on that moment, beside that is a bit difficult to implement in Non-US based companies.

Good for small business but not at scale

Comments: Overall good experience, we used their product for years before we eventually had to make the switch to another platform. At the end they kept tightening up their restrictions and make it extremely hard to do business with them.

Pros:

The interface, ease of use, and speed of getting setup and running was great!

Cons:

Stripe has all kinds of red tape and would often put our funds on hold for no reason. Makes it extremely hard to operate a business.

A Reliable Payment Solution for Global Businesses

Pros:

Stripe offers great value for the money, and the dashboard is easy to use. It fulfills all of our needs.

Cons:

If the form doesn't connect via Stripe immediately, it could be a little complicated to set up.

Still the leading payment provider for developpers

Pros:

It is quite easy to setup, the fees are quite clear : about 1.5% in EU, 2.5% outside EU. It is quite easy to connect Stripe to other software (Shopify), and you can quite easily integrate Stripe yourself. The support was always quick to respond in my experience

Cons:

There were not many examples of apps that show how to integrate fully with Stripe with custom code. Ideally, I'd like to see an app where you can subscribe to Stripe for each language, so you can more easily get started with your project.

Fraud prevention is important!

Comments: Not at all good. After my issue with transaction fraud, I could not speak to customer service. It’s virtually impossible to get someone on the phone or just get help in general as a small business owner.

Pros:

The ease of use, there are times when I can’t talk on the phone with a customer because I had one with me in person. I could send them to my website to make their payment and it would process immediately.

Cons:

The fees taken per transaction and then the fees on top of that to transfer the funds and then the fees on top of that to keep the product. Too many fees Also, I had a customer dispute a transaction with her bank and won $2K. Stripe collected $2k from me and didn’t help me. I had the customer on camera, I had the contract with her signature and I had all emails/text messages from the customer. Stripe processed the dispute and lost. After that, I didn’t trust stripe. I stopped using them.

Stripe for Online Business Owners

Comments: I really have enjoyed using stripe! I am so grateful for a secure place to take clients payments.

Pros:

I really love that Stripe integrates with so many different platforms. I love that you can set up autopayments so that I can set up memberships with ease, and don't have to chase anyone down for their monthly fees.

Cons:

I wish that it was easier for folx to pay with debit, or paypal with stripe, so that all integrations could be in one place.

I really like Stripe

Comments: Stripe has been very useful in my business to receive payment from customers all over the world. I also like that they have implemented faster payouts

Pros:

I like that you can use Stripe to take debit and credit card payments and the charges are not as high as some other payment platforms. It is also easy to set up.

Cons:

Some of the functionality seems clunky, especially for recurring payments. You have to manually set the end date.

A new user and here to stay!

Comments: Extremely satisfied! It checks off all the boxes of what our company needs to collect payments and grow our revenue. If our customers are happy then we are happy and they have been overall excited since we made the switch to Stripe.

Pros:

I am a new user to Stripe as my company just made a change to our CRM which is integrated with Stripe. Compared to what we were previously using, this product is incredible. It has streamlined our payment process, making receiving and sending payments more efficient. The ease of use was a huge draw! It is all very intuitive. On top of that, the customer service is incredible. We ran into a few hiccups with the transition, but Stripe was right there alongside us the entire time. I have been so pleased with the prompt responses and thorough troubleshooting.

Cons:

The only drawback was a longer initial payout time but nothing concerning since it was a one-time delay as our account was new. It did not change my overall experience and perception of the product.

beware of Stripe and fees not being transparent

Comments: I would not reccommend I would say stay away and use anything else

Pros:

it processes cards fine but it is not good

Cons:

deceptive practices and raising fees constantly

Payment Processing For Busy Owners

Comments: I have had a very positive experience with Stripe. I started with them using their express integration with a few other softwares. I switched in January 2023 to the full software and have enjoyed it since.

Pros:

I like that Stripe handles all reoccurring payments. Once you set up the product, there is a no code payment link you can send to customers. They handle the rest!

Cons:

There are A LOT of features. My business is a 1 person company. Though my business may scale in to some of these features, Stripe offers a lot of features from the get-go, can be overwhelming when deciding on WHAT you actually need

my Stripe review.

Comments: It enables me to do business online knowing that I can accept payments from customers worldwide, it doesn't matter the location I'm doing business at.

Pros:

Its easy to use, and that it can be used everywhere around the globe, this enables businesses to accept payments from customers worldwide.

Cons:

A bit difficult to integrate or customize without professional help.

Appalling Service

Comments: Appalling. I have spent a month trying to get someone, anyone to help. All I received were dismissive emails sending me off to solve the problems on your site.

Pros:

The logo is nice. The name is also nice.

Cons:

Customer support is non existent. The arrogance of big business treats to customer as a problem rather than an asset.

Extremely Frustrating Experience with Stripe

Comments: We've been using #Stripe since October 2021, and initially, everything worked fine. However, things took a frustrating turn when Stripe suddenly labeled our business as "high risk" without providing any evidence and placed an indefinite hold on our payouts. Despite submitting all the requested documentation and proving our compliance, their support team has failed to give any clear reason or transparency behind this decision. This lack of communication has severely impacted our business operations, and it's unacceptable for a company that relies on consistent cash flow. To make matters worse, Stripe doesn’t provide a local contact support number, making it even harder to resolve these issues. Stripe's handling of this situation has been deeply disappointing, and we strongly caution other businesses considering their service.

Pros:

Initially, doing business with stripe was fine.

Cons:

Stripe can place holds on your funds or freeze your accounts without warning, especially if it deems a business as "high risk," often without clear communication. Stripe lacks direct phone support in many regions, making it challenging to resolve urgent issues quickly.

Great client feedback when using Stripe

Comments: Generally very positive. I like the speed at which the payouts reach my account and my clients report easy use when using stripe to pay the deposit for their appointments. Fees could be a little lower but generally no complaints!

Pros:

Easy to set up and quick payments. It’s a name my clients recognised and trust

Cons:

A couple of glitches when integrating with Pabau booking software but once you and running no issues

The de facto payment platform

Pros:

Feature set and API. Integrates with almost everything.

Cons:

Pricing can get expensive quickly. Tools for some processes, such as bulk price changes on subscriptions, don’t exist and need development to achieve.

The Ease of Use is Outweighed by the Inferior Customer Service Highly Discourage Supporting Stripe.

Comments: Not impressed at all. Defiantly do not recommend.

Pros:

Easily set up and begin accepting debit and credit cards. Compatible with many applications to make processing and tracking simplified.

Cons:

The fee's pile up. Example: If someone disputes a debit charge and the company wins the dispute a fee is still charged to the company for the dispute. Multiple emails requesting verification and reverifying information you supply multiply times shows inefficiency on Stripes behalf. Bank statements and banking information that has been the same since the beginning of the account and now in question is beyond me. The fact they have no record of information supplied multiple times is concerning.

Clunky and confusing

Pros:

What I liked about stripe was their ability to be a middle man without intuit or Square. I also like the integration with specific websites and services like Buy me a Coffee and Beatstars.

Cons:

What a confusing slow mess of a product with a terrible app to boot. If you don’t receive payments through them regularly they will put your entire account on hold forcing you to call to never speak to a human.

Efficient online payment facility.

Comments: Efficient and user friendly. Well recognised and trusted by customers.

Pros:

Payments Links are easy to create. Ability to send via WhatsApp/email useful.

Cons:

Fees. Can be unclear when looking at reports when searching for certain details.

Best cerdit card payment tool for your website.

Comments: It's a good experience reliable payments no errors until now.

Pros:

Stripe is very well-known so clients love it as a payment option

Cons:

There is a process to set it up that requires a programmer.
