I chose Stripe 8 years ago. And I'd probably still use Stripe now. I'd probably use Stripe Payment Links + webhooks if I were starting an MVP today. After the first few customers ask, I'd add a way for them to manage their subscription via Stripe Billing Portal.

Never used stripe. Does that mean you set it up so it's totally independent from your SaaS? So you just send them a link, they pay, and you activate their account or so?

  If I was doing an MVP today, yes, I'd use payment links to start. I wouldn't "send them", but I'd have my "buy" button link to it, and then have a webhook activate the account on successful purchase. But yes, full manual flow would also work depending on the product. :)

    Ok thanks. Sounds like more than enough for the first few customers.

      Look at InvoiceNinja, you can use Stripe for card and bank account payments with it, and avoid the invoicing fees Stripe charges while maintaining your data on a separate platform you control even if Stripe decides to pull the rug on you.

Why not Square? Seems to be cheaper. Is the developer experience that much better with Stripe?
