Stripe Review

PROS: Stripe can be easily integrated with various languages, it takes few minutes to set it up and provides great test environments, and we are ensured that the payments work perfectly even before pushing to production. The product is reliable, its support team is highly responsive and always there to help you fix the problem. I had an issue because the update broke the api and we found out that the problem is edge-case but no matter that they were really gentle to help.

CONS: Stripe offers discounts if you use subscription but if you use charges for non-subscription based services then the discount coupons don’t exist. Also, I miss an option to send direct invoice to client. According to their documentation this option is available but it could be much easier for business users. I think that the main focus of this product is on the subscriptions. Additionally, I feel forced to use the stripe javascript and this can be frustration especially if you want to do the server-side payments.

PROS: I’ve been using Stripe from the very beginning, and they have really improved they product. I have a feeling that the product is made by developers for developers and I really found it useful. This product is number one for me when it comes to payment gateway. To be honest, I wanted to change the product but I have always ran into poor documented tools, useless process and poor interface, and Stripe is beyond that.

CONS: There is nothing to dislike for the software technical implementation, but I remember a time when I have created an app that was very successful and I have received thousands of dollars in short time and they even froze the account because they thought it was a fraud, and it took some weeks to resolve the problem. But, I cannot put the blame on them.

PROS: Stripe is user friendly and intuitive integration, its process is straightforward and it makes the process of accepting payment painless. We can easily manage cancellations and refunds and we have direct access to our customer account or transaction. The product has great mobile app and we use it for reporting. You can even try its demo version without requiring registration. The other wonderful thing about this product is the fact that accepts payments from almost every country. Its API is also key strength and very useful.

CONS: They could insert more features into the mobile app. It happens when our customers can’t perform the payment through Stripe and we have to use PayPal as a backup. They need to resolve this issue. They could make the reasoning more understandable when some transactions don’t process.

PROS: What I like about Stripe is the fact that making as well accepting payments is extremely simple from business and development point of view. Before using Stripe I had to deal with tons of administrative work in order to receive the payment for the products and services. With this product everything is centralized and you can start in less than 30min. The product really provides helpful tools in order to avoid complexity in whole payment process. Starting from their SDK and plug directly into your own code, Javascript API for initializing payment, to the open source Java library, credit card identification and validation, it has pre-built libraries for accepting payments and all you have to do is to write 20lines of codes. The team behind this product works hard in order to simplify things for their customers, and I really appreciate that.

CONS: I can’t think of anything I might dislike about this product. Because they really makes the whole payment process easy and painless. Even the documentation is amazing and the open source SDK. Sorry, I can’t really think of anything to dislike.

PROS: Stripe has simple dashboard and robust API. The documentation on the software API is well written and it is easy to follow. I also love its testability. When I have a test API key and live API key I use the first one for testing the environments and ensures me that the integration with this product is working perfectly in both ways. You can even deploy production confidently without changing the code and you can be sure that everything works the same way when it comes to monetary transactions.

CONS: What I don’t like about this product is how the API upgrades work, because it’s not very clear and it can be frustrating when I need to switch versions without ability to switch the test version first. Before using the upgraded version I want to try demo version because I want to see how it works and all its functions.

PROS: Stripe is great products and has great offerings with full support for payment solutions. Customer’s credit card information is well secured and there is no problem if the merchant wants to switch to another provider. The data-export feature is free and it is great when choosing payment solution because I might get stuck with some changes in future and without option to migrate the financial data.

CONS: I have complaints for their customer service, because there is no customer support over phone and they don’t even respond to e-mails immediately. I really needed their help but I couldn’t reach them. Its verification system and security algorithms are not as powerful as Paypal’s.

PROS: This product offers clear, clean end-user interface and works amazingly with all desktop and mobile devices. It provides valuable documentation, great set of examples with many programming languages and language libraries. Thanks to all these the integration is simple and we managed to set it up within few hours. Stripe offers great set of features and I feel I can expand the future of our business and gain more end-users. I love its reporting tool as well because they are nice and understandable.

CONS: I think that its charging model is not suited well for small payments.

PROS: Stripe is definitely easy to use and to set-up for a robust payment software. It integrates perfectly with various platforms. Refunds are also easy to process. It provides information of how much revenue we’ve collected and we can even keep track of how often money is transferred to our account. It offers lowest fees as well.

CONS: It would be great if they could organize the payment lists or to group them by email.

PROS: Stripe is simple API for integrating system, we were able to connect our site to the API and start accepting payments from our customers, and that’s all in one day. It is simple to code, test and repeat everything when we have figured out. This product has simple interface and it was very easy to configure it with various currencies. Its admin portal is easy to use and it can be used by almost everyone there is no need for technical background. Also, it provides detailed log interface so you can change your account from both interface and web hooks.

CONS: They could improve the onboarding. At the beginning we thought that we have set up everything and then we have receive and e-mail requiring ID card. Also, the integration with Likedln doesn’t work and shows errors when entering address. All in all, the product works perfectly.

PROS: Setting up the account is done online there is no need for printing papers. Everything is well documented even though the integration can be little difficult. Once you set up the product you can leave behind the previous payment system because you will see how simple and better this product is. The other good thing about stripe is the fact that doesn’t use 3D secure, we have experienced that lot of our customers abandoned the payment process when they faced the 3D secure. This product lowered our rates on credit card fees, and with other solutions you have to negotiate for lowering the fees.

CONS: The integration can be difficult on Javascript but this doesn’t prevent our customers for making the payments.

PROS: Nothing, they don't give any docs for developers or marketers for how to deal with the API or any legal actions concerning the disputes and refunds.

CONS: The main problem is they are not dominating their own business, because they are only partners of some banks, and their banks only give the total right to the buyer even if you getting scammed by your own buyers, you can send all the evidences you want, the buyer always wins.
