I tried integrating Stripe into a product I am building at the moment and decided to move to Paddle.
In the end, Stripe was very complicated for a service that is not end to end complete for delivering digital products and services. The price for Paddle is higher but its a complete service and so much easier to implement.
Some really basic and frustrating things I ran into with Stripe:
- invoices only generated for subscriptions, not one off products
- email receipts not generated in sandbox mode (undocumented but confirmed with their support)
All in all, i left stripe thinking it’s probably not a product designed for solo devs but is instead for services at scale like Shopify.
