Payment processing - is everyone using Stripe?

I've used Paypal, Gumroad and Stripe, in that order. Here are the advantages I've seen with each:

• Stripe: nice API, easy to set up subscriptions, good documentation
• Gumroad: integrated into their platform for selling digital goods, built-in referral program
• Paypal: most widely supported, best name recognition, doesn't require you to have your own site

Fees are reasonable on all three.

1. Braintree (credit cards + Paypal)
2. Because Stripe is not available in our country so we looked up for an alternative. On second thought Braintree was a smart choice to have a very easy Paypal integration, which helped increase our sales when we added it as a payment method.
3. Google, one year ago.

IndieHackers is owned by Stripe so there may be some bias here.

If you're still working to establish credibility, offering Paypal as an additional option (but not the primary option) can help you earn a few extra sales.

1. I use FastSpring (have used Share-it, Plimus in the past).
2. As a reseller FastSpring takes care of all VAT issues for EU countries which I don't want to deal with.
3. I wanted to change from Plimus. FastSpring had a great reputation together with BMTMicro. I switched to FastSpring and never looked back.

Today most SaaS companies use the Merchant of Record model. Payment ISVs like PayPro Global handle not only payments but also sales tax/VAT remittance, compliance, lead generation, emails, licensing, invoicing, customer support and more.

Hi @lindsay_bizamo

1. I actually use Wave as I'm doing more consulting based stuff rather than a single purchase product. (They do handle reoccurring charges though!)
2. I was on the lookout for a great way to integrate my business with an easy to use accounting system. Wave just happened to offer payment methods (bank, cc)
3. Only a few months ago.

I have to say the biggest drawback is the speed of the bank to bank transfers. Sometimes they can take up to 7 days. 😭 I know this isn't exactly like Stripe or Gumroad but I'd figure this may help some folks who want the convenience in the payment processing and the business side of things as well.

2Checkout - Stripe is not an option for non-us companies

1. Stripe
2. Best payment processor. Other payment processors make the mistake of not being developer friendly when developers are the core audiences of payment processors directly or indirectly. Stripe's got awesome documentation. That's the whole reason.
3. Word of mouth. 2013-14 maybe

1. We are using Stripe.
2. We choose Stripe simply because they have the best and most feature filled offering (from Billing, to Connect, to Terminal). Plus their docs are amazingly superb.

1. Stripe
2. I probably chose it because of its popularity. I stayed with it because it might have the best API documentation of any product I've ever used. Easy to implement, robust functionality, lots of flexibility in processing payments and all the options that go along with that.
3. I've implemented Stripe on three separate projects, starting in 2014.

1. I use Stripe ( v interested in FastSpring though)
2. It was the best payment processor that my Wordpress membership plugin supports. Thats how I handle software subscriptions.
3. 6 years ago. I first saw it in Gumroad.

1. Using Stripe. Tried reaching out to adyen. They asked me a few questions then never got back to me lol Would like to give adyen a chance but apparently you have to be doing fairly large numbers for them to be interested.
2. Stripe is easy to implement. Has a nice checkout popup feature that works well.
3. Three years ago. Using Google.

1. Stripe
2. Solid product; Existing code + awesome dev experience/docs
3. Learned and used in 2012
