In fairness, it offers so much that a couple of my colleagues feel it is daunting, but for me, it offers me absolutely everything I need to make me feel like a genius. It is a brilliant product and I love using it Pros Stripe is absolutely fantastic. It is sleek, easy to manage, and the amount of information it offers on metadata and IP addresses will definitely make you feel like you own the platform.

Pros There are a lot of useful features which are easy to find and thus make the platform very user-friendly. Cons The security of the payments can be improved, as we get a lot of chargebacks that are resolved in the payer's favour. We are clearly losing money over these.

Clean looking integration that is easy to use and quick on procesing and transfering. Cons Stripe does not communicate well with other integrations.

Owner Entertainment ### "Easy, flexible & convenient" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 May 5, 2023 Pros I felt extremely safe knowing that it's PCI compliant and that security wouldn't be an issue at all. I only used for a limited time, for a pop-up, and I really need my customers trust me...and they did, because Stripe's name is quite familiar nowadays. I also liked that it was easy to use it with my smartphone, the integration was smooth and flawless. Cons I wish more payment methods were added. I also had to buy a printer, but I guess that wouldn't be problem for permanent businessess - unlike mine.

Programs Manager Non-Profit Organization Management ### "No User Error" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 May 3, 2023 Stripe Terminal allows us to easily sell last minute tickets to our educational events, without forcing people to go online to an external ticket vendor while they wait at the front door. Pros Most of our customers are on the older side, and not great with technology (to put it mildly). Stripe Terminal is incredibly straight forward, and accessible to even the most technology-confused of our people, which was an absolute must. Cons Tap to pay doesn't always go through, and can make what should be a quicker option turn into a slow and grinding game of troubleshooting.
