I still use PayPal because it has the best global coverage and least friction for consumers. Their new checkout form also seamlessly accepts credit/debit cards and does subscriptions.
Many of my customers are in countries that aren’t supported by Stripe, so it’s not much of a choice from a business perspective.
- mrweasel 5y agoDo you just use PayPal to accept credit/debits cards? Because there are alternatives to Stripe. They aren't as well made, but they do exist. For me, if I go to a site, that only accepts PayPal, then I'm won't be buying anything. I honestly don't trust PayPal, at all. If it's PayPal only, I assume it's fraud.
- tofukid 5y agoI accept PayPal and credit/debit cards, using “PayPal Checkout”. Go to https://LuckyResumeMaker.com https://LuckyResumeMaker.com and click “Download PDF” to see what PayPal checkout looks like. Most customers pay with PayPal, but the credit/debit card option is seamless with PayPal. I think it’s even better than Stripe since it doesn’t always take someone to another page.
- herbst 5y agoThe reason I use PayPal is because it doesn't trigger the credit card SMS confirmation that is enforced in europe and I don't have a phone number to receive them.
