Guy G
Director
5.0

Guy: Hi, my name is Guy. I am the director of a small consulting firm. And I would give Stripe 5 out of 5. So Stripe actually was the first way that we set up to have any kind of credit card payments. So prior to Stripe, we just would invoice customers, and a lot of our customers still do just pay by bank transfer on invoice. But when we're selling smaller ticket items, tickets for events and things like that, yeah, we really needed something, and that's something with Stripe. We looked at a few different solutions. I can't honestly remember what they were because Stripe is probably the most popular in terms of what my friends and business partners would have recommended. And it is just so simple to set up and also to manage. There's lots of different options in there, but, yeah, a pretty easy implementation. So getting started with Stripe, obviously you get into financial details, so you've got to have all your bank accounts and VAT number in the UK, at least, set up. But, yeah, getting started was pretty straightforward, pretty simple. And then integrating with our other products like Xero for accounting was really important as part of that. So I would say, yeah, getting set up was fairly straightforward, but there's certainly a process you need to go through, but Stripe helped me through that. So if you're thinking of getting Stripe, I'd definitely check with the customers that you're hoping to get paid by if they understand it and are happy with it. I mean, that was one of our reasons for choosing it because we knew many people would be. But yeah, you need to be clear what options you're offering your customers. And then other than that, it's just getting onboarded with it, understanding how it works, when you are going to get paid, and setting up those terms within the software. But as I say, Stripe walk you through a lot of that stuff and there's lots of really helpful guides for it.
