Good move by BrainTree.
As much as I love Stripe and their innovative moves, the bulk of my business's transactions have been handled by BrainTree over the last 4 years. That includes both SaaS subscription billing and third-party payment aggregation (we do niche ecommerce, take a transaction fee, and ACH to customers). Our transaction fee is below the (now seemingly) standard 2.9% which adds up when you get to hundreds of thousands of dollars or more in processing. BrainTree's support is great ... I'm talking Rackspace-level great.
Some of you talk like BrainTree is an old-school behemoth which is being disrupted by Stripe, which is silly. News flash: BrainTree is not PayPal. Obviously they are all competitors, but I see nothing to indicate that BrainTree can't keep pace with Stripe moving forward.
I do use Stripe for things–and I do love it. But we wouldn't be where we are today w/o BrainTree.
- polyfractal 14y agoAgreeing with everything here, and adding the fact that Braintree has incredible support. There have been several occasions where I couldn't figure out a bug on my side, or there was a gap in our database records while testing a new feature, and I was able to get on the phone with a customer service rep and get it sorted out in minutes. I've never had such a pleasant customer service experience before, doubly surprising because it was with a financial service. Braintree is pretty awesome.
