You recommend Stripe in a throwaway line in the post - it sounds like your experience with them has been really positive! I'm working on a project where I may end up taking people's money for services on a subscription basis. I've heard that Stripe is better for one-time charges than for re-occuring charges. Is that true in your experience, as someone who's done work with Stripe?
- patio11 14y agoStripe is a dream come true for developers. I use Spreedly (backed by Paypal) on Appointment Reminder to do subscription management, and am very happy with it, too. I hear you can use them together now, which sounds like the PB&J of money if you ask me. P.S. I also don't hate me love Paypal, too.
- sedev 14y agoI'd never heard of Spreedly! Thank you for pointing that out: it makes this project just the tiniest bit more likely to replace my day job. :)
- jcampbell1 14y agoDoes Paypal still have the restriction that if you use them for credit card processing, you must also offer a Paypal checkout? Offering Appointment Reminder though standard PayPal seems like a giant additional headache.
- tomjen3 14y agoAs a user I love paypal because it is really, really easy to end a subscription and there is nothing, whatsoever, the merchant can do about it.
