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.

A recent advantage for us is the instant payouts, which significantly improves cash flow and reduces the stress of waiting on funds. The platform is easy to use, integrates well with other systems, and makes managing payments straightforward. > > **Cons**: Fees can add up as volume grows, especially for smaller transactions, and it’s not always easy to clearly see the total cost impact at a glance. > > Overall, Stripe has been a great fit for our business. It’s dependable, flexible, and supports growth without adding too much operational complexity. The instant payout feature alone makes a big difference to day-to-day cash flow, and the system has scaled well as we’ve grown. ----- ### "Reliable and Flexible Payment Processing with Stripe" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *17 March 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Stripe provides a reliable and flexible platform for processing credit card and card payments.
