Stripe is touted as 'developer-friendly', but it's not all it's cracked up to be. I think PayPal is underrated here.
- Stripe's list of prohibited businesses is much larger than PayPal's. They are not business-friendly.
- PayPal is available in over 200 countries. You can accept payments in many countries Stripe is not available in.
- On PayPal you can start accepting payments immediately, no need to submit complex business docs.
- PayPal is easier to setup (Paypal.me link, buttons, send via email etc.) and has lower fees for small transactions.
- People might be more comfortable buying from a relatively unknown site when they are using trusted 3rd party provider like PayPal.
- femiagbabiaka 8y agoI'm eternally amazed at the rate of speed at which any HN comment section derails into off-topic nonsense. What does this have to do with the linked article? Is it possible to do what's described in the article with PayPal?
