Pay Pal Pro vs Stripe

[anonymous-user]

We've been using Pay Pal Pro for a decade now, why? I really don't know! I'm looking at Stripe, what's not to like?!

Pay Pal :- 3.40% + £0.20 per transaction plus a £20 monthly fee.

Stripe :- 1.4%+ £0.20 per transaction ZERO monthly fee.

Seems like a no brainer?

Any others to consider?

TIA

I can't comment on others, but we have used stripe and find it very efficient.

Thanks. I think we'll give it a go if we can get it integrated (can't see why not). Pay Pal are pissing me off with their "support", fees and constant problems (every week some system seems to break somewhere).

We use Stripe, customer service quite good as well.

Happy customer here.

Thumbsup for Stripe here too. Good integration with WooCommerce.

also from the 5th of this month Paypal stopped refunding paypal fees when you refund an order. Even if its to cancel an order that never shipped.

Ebay will be switching to their own payment system this year so im not sure where that will leave paypal.

Yep!! Which for me was the final nail in their coffin! IMO it takes the piss, they get their fee no matter what! They are already expensive. My only "fear" with Stripe is Google have an interest in them. Having said that there is no getting away from Google anyway and IIRC card vendors (Mastercard?) share customer data with them anyway!!

Unfortunately Stripe are doing this also. A bit annoying.

We use Stripe - no complaints whatsoever.

Thanks everyone. Those who are using them, are you using their API or Elements? Does their dashboard display the buyers details like Pay Pal does?

I use a piece of code that works via Stripe Terminal; though I use it less frequently now; I usually charge customers by logging directly into Stripe and creating charges. Our business has flexible pricing so this works better for us this way

Yes it's fully comprehensive. You can bring up all details of payees whether online or created by you. It also has a full suite of risk mitigation tools too. More than I would ever need.
