Pros
Stripe suddenly held 15k of payments recieved who we had recieved regular payments from. Without good reason and terrible communication.
Cons
They have caused our business to close because of holding our money, we have proved with invoices, emails that the payments are legitimate and we have still not recieved our monies.

Almost Destroyed My Business - Stripe Stole From Us

We implemented Stripe because of its ease of use but it’s turned out to be a nightmare. It’s as though Stripe decided that we are not a legitimate company and targeted us to prove it at any cost.
Every few weeks we were asked to produce the same previously requested documents. We have never had a single customer dispute yet they unilaterally decided we were high risk and returned recently charged purchases to our clients who have already stayed at our vacation rental.
We went viral with over 5.5 million views of an influencer’s video which caused had a huge uptick in business. I’m not sure if the volume of business caused Stripe to be concerned. They requested a selfie and an upload of the ID they already had on file. After I uploaded the selfie and my US Passport I got a notification that I was now good to go. This was followed by an email two hours later that we were deemed to be too risky and funds would be returned to our clients.
Stripe then took money from our bank account and I assume will be sending it to clients who have already stayed at our property. We are hoping these funds will be returned to us.
In a nutshell, Stripe stole from us - there were no customer complaints. We contacted the customers and are praying they will send thousands of dollars back to us using another method of payment.
Pros
Ease of integration with the company I selected for my property management system.
Cons
Countless re-verification requests with no favorable response after sending business registration and several forms of IDs.
Extremely poor customer service with lengthy waiting times for retuned calls.
They made the decision to stop supporting my business without a single customer complaint or request for a refund.
They rejected payments from a lot of international clients based in Canada and the UK. This caused me to lose a lot of bookings.

Reviewed on 17/07/2024
Pros
We used a lot of payment gateways over the years and Stripe is the most reliable and easy to use. We highly recommend Stripe.
Cons
That there is no recourse if someone unjustly demands a refund, but that is a bank issue, not a Stripe issue. But it is something the industry needs to address. :)

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

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.

Stripe is a absolutely essential. You'd be doing yourself a disservice if you use anything other than Stripe when building payments into your business. I've worked in many different industries at this stage that use Stripe in different ways, and it works flawlessly every time.
Pros
The developer experience is by far the best of any software I have ever used. Their documentation is crystal clear for even financial novices, and walks you through every possible eventuality. They make it trivial to build payments into your app.
Cons
I don't particularly have any complaints at all. If I had to pick one gripe, it's that the fees can be quite high, but they're about on par with the rest of the market from what I can see, and they are well worth the money.

I have never encountered customer service this bad, or this degree of incompetence and ineptitude. I wish I could rate this organization lower as nothing I've dealt with could even compare to how bad my experience was with Stripe. I would never use this platform for anything.
Pros
Literally nothing, I haven't had a single interaction with this company that was not terrible.
Cons
Just setting up an account was excruciating. Took OVER 14 calls, emails, chats to support to resolve a single verification issue, no one would resolve it, no one would tell me what was wrong, and the actual problem? The order I put my board members in on the site was different than on the document. All the data was identical but literally no one even checked. On the 14th attempt of submitting the exact same document, finally someone actually looked at it and verified the account. Took 4 days and lost thousands of dollars because of their incompetence.

Still the leading payment provider for developpers
Reviewed on 07/01/2025
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.
