Sandra B
Founder
5.0

Sandra: Hi, my name is Sandra. I'm the founder of Self Care Sundays Box. We are a clean beauty and wellness luxury subscription box, and I give Stripe a five-star rating. Before Stripe, I was a very small business and I was just doing bank transfers, but I needed a way to make the process easier and trackable. I chose Stripe Billing because it offered probably the best rate in terms of fees and the turnaround time for paying me was very good compared to the others on the market. It was super easy getting started with Stripe Billing. There was practically no setup and I think the customer service was really helpful with any questions I had. If you're considering getting Stripe Billing, I think they do a free trial. I would do the free trial, see that you love it, and just go ahead and sign up. You can cancel any time, I'm pretty sure. And it's just so easy to use and they pay you right on time, if not early.

Michelle T
Paralegal
5.0

Michelle: My name is Michelle. I work for MTP Paralegal Services. I'm the owner there. And I would give Zoho Invoicing a rating of five. I was using Excel. And the problems that I was having is that it was manual. So I would have to not only input the formulas, but I would also have to export the pages or the invoices to PDF so that I could send them to my clients. And Zoho has enabled me to be able to just input the amounts and they send it to the client directly. I was already using Zoho Mail, so I saw that they offered a Zoho Invoicing and I thought I'd give it a try. So I gave it a try and I actually loved it. Using it was actually really easy because it's integrated into the Zoho Mail app, so I was able to use it from there. And I just downloaded the app, and that's also very, very easy. It's easy to set up my clients and it's easy to set up the invoices. Okay. The advice that I would give is, it's really good for small businesses because it allows you to add different contacts for the invoice. So you don't have to just add one contact, you can add email addresses, and you can also add different phone numbers. And it lets you send the email directly from the app, so you don't have to worry about sending it manually. And it also allows you to use your internal invoicing system. So for example, I already had my own numbering system, but when I transitioned, I just updated it to the Zoho Invoice, and that was really easy.
