No issues so far. It's doing what it is supposed to be doing. On top of that the fees for EU are descent enough (especially when customers are using Revolut Pay). I have very much liked using the Test mode at first (especially before receiving your first payment) to make sure everything was working as it should (peace of mind). Even though I am not an expert, creating products and payment links was pretty straight forward and easy. PLUS, I now have a system that sends receipts automatically for me... saving me so much time that I can now put into creating content, marketing, etc. > > **Cons**: I wish there was a way to create folders for products and link payments instead of having a long list to scroll through. It would be more pleasing to the eyes and definitely a nicer way to keep everything organised. I wish there was a way to bulk edit some of the features of payments links. For instance, I have created several payment link for different products but I want my After Payment custom message to be the same, so I have to go in each one of them to customise the message one after the other. It did take a while to get my first payments to land in my account... but to be honest, it's not a huge drawback (must be needed I guess to help against fraudsters). > > I needed something fast and reliable with different payment methods so that I could offer more payment possibilities to my students and Stripe has just done that. The fact that it is such a famous and reliable online payment platform is definitely a plus as it meant I could connect my booking system to it quickly and securely. The less tools, accounts, and plugins I have to use for my business, the better. ----- ### "Seamless for E-commerce payments" — 3.0/5 > **Suresh** | *22 December 2025* | Staffing & Recruiting | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Yes, kind of one of the best product for taking payments on your e-commerce site, very easy to connect and no technical knowledge needed for the initial set up. > > **Cons**: Yes there are kind of Industry leaders now in , so good product comes high price but the thins is there is no flat fee system and they charge per transaction and fees Is quite high. > > overall a very smooth and friction free product, you can issue refunds to customers cards easily as well but yes quite expensive for small business. ----- ### "Efficient online payment facility." — 4.0/5 > **Patrick** | *9 July 2024* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Payments Links are easy to create. Ability to send via WhatsApp/email useful. > > **Cons**: Fees. Can be unclear when looking at reports when searching for certain details. > > Efficient and user friendly. Well recognised and trusted by customers. ----- ### "Feature-rich payment processing platform" — 5.0/5 > **Jack** | *13 February 2026* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Simplicity in its design, rich in features for managing payment processing, invoicing and more. Low transaction fees means convenience for my business without being penalised for it. Stripes API allows really easy integration into any service or product. > > **Cons**: Stripe generally is a great platform, however, initial business verification can hold you back, its a fairly complex process that I think could be streamlined more. > > Stripe is a feature-rich payment processing platform. I found it incredibly easy to work with from an API level, providing exactly the right level of integration that I needed for my projects. The dashboard and suite of tools are so simple to use, and easy to follow. Stripe can also handle multiple currencies with ease, incredibly useful. ----- ### "Great for collecting payments, quickly and easily." — 4.0/5 > **Emma** | *6 February 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use Stripe to collect payments from various sources. We use Stripe because it is a widely trusted global payment collection software. We can use it for online payments and also in-person on a card machine which is helpful for in-person events. There are transaction fees applied however, there is no monthly charge. Stripe is easy to use with a dashboard showing your key figures. It is easy to navigate and find payment information, and reports which we use to verify income with our auditors. It offers a dispute section where you can easily return or refund payments should the need arrive. It creates a customer data base, storing information securely, and analyse is available. A test-mode function can also be used. > > **Cons**: The transaction fee is quite high, and we were not able to negotiate a discount, however it was still deemed the best value for money for what we needed at the time, and we have no plans to move away from Stripe. We have experienced no bugs or issues with the transaction volumes we have. > > My overall experience with Stripe is positive, the software successfully collects payments and automatically pays-out into the bank account at regular intervals. I am able to easily obtain payment information from my login and manage other users so they can gather required data. ----- Page: 1 / 134\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/123889/stripe?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/123889/stripe) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
