I especially like the fact that the platform provides a pre-funding message to inform me of its pending release. > > **Cons**: I’m wishing the time from the donation submitted and the time of actual deposit were shorter than several days, considering the fees charged. > > I have been using and counting on stripe for several years, and rely on it solely as our means of receiving donations. ----- ### "There may be better options out there now.." — 3.0/5 > **Kate** | *3 April 2026* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that it is a trusted platform and has a lot of payment options. The ease of creating a quick payment link for a customer is appreciated. > > **Cons**: I think compared to some newer options the fees seem very high. It can also be confusing to locate how to do simple tasks such as updating subscriptions, I feel there are some unnecessary steps and the same subscription is in 5 different categories which can make it a little confusing for new users. > > I like it but I worry as we expand that newer staff members may struggle and this can be costly if you mess a payment up or lose trust in a customer if you make mistakes. ----- ### "Stripe is the best solution if you are starting out with online payments." — 4.0/5 > **Francesco** | *2 January 2026* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Stripe has by far the easiest setup to start getting payments online. 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. ----- ### "The best payment solution" — 5.0/5 > **Alan** | *10 March 2026* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The platform is comprehensive, easy to navigate, and has everything I need. It's become an indispensable part of my practice. I also like that it has such a strong reputation - that helps me build trust with my clients. > > **Cons**: I wish the % charged was graduated - as my business grows, it would be nice to pay a smaller percentage for each transaction. > > Great overall experience, makes it easy to track how my business is doing over time, and is easy to use day-to-day. ----- Page: 1 / 134\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/49509/stripe?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/49509/stripe) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
