Way easier than PayPal and with less restriction. Overall is the best solution if you are starting out on getting payed online. > > **Cons**: Fees are high though. 50 cents for every 15 bucks. But this is a common problem. PayPal Fees are even higher. Stripe also is not a merchant of records. > > My overall experience with stripe is very good. I'm still looking for cheaper solutions out there but I can say that it's solid and easy to manage. ----- ### "Easy pay system" — 5.0/5 > **Konstantin** | *05 May 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is pretty easy to set up for a first time. Not too expensive. Not sure about customer support, because it was really to set up at the first time. Card payments are really easy. Especially we love that our customers can tap their debit card or credit card on business phone and make a payment. No need to buy any POS systems from them. The app is fully customizable, you can choose what day and time to get money on your account. So far didn’t had any bugs or issues with the system, works great. > > **Cons**: When first time I was trying to find information about how much does it cost it was hard. Also Really wanted to talk to real person for customer support or sales agent. Didn’t found their phone number. There is a bug sometimes when you using > > So far using it everyday. No problem. It is a good addition to our customer service system, where they can pay bills online. ----- ### "Convenient service but a little costly" — 4.0/5 > **Brianna** | *02 July 2026* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Makes payment processing easy for direct purchases online. User-friendly and allows for multiple payment options. > > **Cons**: I don't like the fees that are charged to the business in order to process payments. I find them to be high. ----- ### "Stripe has awful customer service...be warned\!" — 1.0/5 > **Jacob** | *04 March 2026* | Packaging & Containers | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nothing honestly, they are hard to reach and zero customer support. They take out reserves at will and keep your money. I am not sure how they still operate as a legitimate business. This is coming from a client that has been with them for 14 yrs. > > **Cons**: No customer support, no contact info, not helpful, reserves with our money, I can go on, but it won't allow me to type everything. I am sad that we have been with them for this long with their lack of customer service. They should be out of business\!\!\! > > Awful, they are difficult to reach and have no customer service. They take out 40% of our funds which is causing our small business to go out of business. Stay away from their services\! ----- ### "Process CC Payments with Ease" — 5.0/5 > **Zach** | *16 March 2026* | Philanthropy | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: We use Stripe for processing our CC payments for our programing tickets and donations. The platform works great in combination with Foundant CommunitySuite so that payments are automatically processed. > > **Cons**: The only complaint we have regarding Stripe is about their reporting functionality. It was challenging to find the reporting options as a new user. > > Overall experience with Stripe has been positive. Payment processing is easy. The only complaint I would have is regarding the emails that Stripe sends to notify you of a payment. It would be helpful if it gave more detail, such as what the transaction was for. ----- Page: 1 / 135\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/91015/stripe?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/91015/stripe) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
