The checkouts looked amazing and we didn’t have any bug or problem. I usually work with API integrations and this was super cool for me. Saved me a lot of time and the visual experience is better than other billing tools Pros What I liked the most of stripe was how easy was to integrate it on any website made with Wordpress even if it’s you first time using it. You can choose between different options of invoices (subscriptions, one time payment). Their navigation panel is visually appealing and modern which gives trust. And the best part is that is free to install. Cons I find the commissions quite high despite it has less commissions like PayPal for example. Nothing else. Alternatives considered [PayPal Payments](https://www.capterra.com/p/207944/PayPal/) Reason for choosing Stripe Billing Again because stripe gave us more payment options like Apple Pay or google pay and the fees were lower per transaction Switched from [PayPal Payments](https://www.capterra.com/p/207944/PayPal/) The change was mostly about fees. PayPal fees were super expensive. Review Source Tracie B. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product for the price " January 30, 2026 5.0 Above average. Stripe has great security, easy integration with multiple platforms, and very prompt customer service. I am very satisfied overall with stripe as a small business owner and non profit executive director. Pros Stripe is very easy to integrate across multiple platforms (Squarespace, donation pages, etc.) and allows you to see accounts separately - this was incredibly helpful as a non profit. Cons The processing fees were a little on the high side and payouts were often held for inconsistent periods of time. Alternatives considered [Square Payments](https://www.capterra.com/p/170278/Square-Payments-Processing/) Reason for choosing Stripe Billing Cost of processing fees were lower and was given reputable recommendations to choose stripe from other colleagues Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Trainer E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Powerful Recurring Invoice Automation with Premium Pricing and Slow Support" September 12, 2026 4.0 Stripe Billing has completely automated our subscription lifecycles, recurring invoices, and tier-based pricing setups with excellent reliability. However, customizing complex billing schedules outside of their standard API flow can feel restrictive. The high convenience factor is heavily balanced by their premium transaction fees and occasionally slow customer service response times when custom setups break. Pros Stripe is incredibly easy to set up and integrate into our platform. The documentation is top-notch, allowing us to accept credit card payments securely from customers worldwide within just a few hours. Its seamless card payment processing and clean user interface make managing transactions effortless. Cons While the platform itself functions well, the customer support can be quite slow to respond when critical bugs or account issues arise. Additionally, the transaction fees can add up quickly for smaller businesses, making it less ideal in terms of overall value for money when starting out. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Stripe is good but not great" January 20, 2026 3.0 I would prefer an alternative because I believe persons all over the world should have the equal opportunities to earn an income whoever they choose to. Pros That is it used by most American businesses. Like 98% businesses in the US have stripe attached or set up in a manner for use. Cons I don't appreciate that it not global and that it makes things difficult for digital marketers and because most people use stripe it's quite difficult especially for those who want to do affiliate marketing to do it with companies who primarily use stripe its like a blockage to international persons Switched from [Stripe Payments](https://www.capterra.com/p/123889/Stripe/) As a digital marketer its difficult and I also prefer to have affiliate marketers assisted to my product from all over the world Review Source SS Samuel S. Co-Founder Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "We use Stripe as our main payment processor now " August 11, 2026 5.0 Our overall experience with Stripe has been very good. The platform feels modern, scalable, and built for businesses processing a significant amount of online transactions. It provides good visibility into payment activity and has been dependable as our payment needs have grown. Pros Stripe offers a lot of flexibility when it comes to managing online payments. The dashboard is well organized, reporting is detailed, and it works particularly well with ecommerce platforms and other business software. Managing transactions, refunds, and payouts is straightforward. Cons Some of the more advanced settings and features can feel technical and take time to understand. It can also be difficult to quickly determine the cause of certain payment failures or disputes without digging into transaction details. Switched from [PayPal Payments](https://www.capterra.com/p/207944/PayPal/) We were too dependent on one payment processor and we heard bad experiences from other business owners where their payments would be held by PayPal so we wanted to make sure our risk was not too high so we split our payment processors in half (50-50 PayPal and Stripe). Review Source TL Tenequia L. Owner Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Can’t beat free!" September 1, 2026 5.0 I love stripe. I use it to process transactions between clients. It allows them to just click the link and make a payment with a card they have. Pros I loved using stripe because this is one of the only payment systems that do not charge a fee every month. Only pay like 30 cent per transaction Cons There was actually nothing I didn’t like. It was very easy to use and free it can’t get no better than free!! Review Source AI Aasil I. Tax Accountant Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Reliable and Convenient for Managing Recurring Payments" September 14, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Stripe Billing has been positive. It provides a reliable way to manage invoices, recurring subscriptions, and customer payments in one place. The dashboard is organized and generally easy to use once you become familiar with it. I have experienced very few bugs, and payment and bank account management have been reliable. Overall, it is a useful billing solution for businesses that regularly invoice clients or collect recurring payments. Pros Stripe Billing makes invoicing and managing recurring payments much easier. Setting up subscriptions, tracking payments, and checking customer billing information is straightforward. I especially like having invoices, subscriptions, payment history, and bank payout information available in one dashboard. It saves time when managing regular client payments. Cons The pricing and additional fees can become expensive as transaction volume increases. Some of the more advanced subscription and billing settings also have a learning curve at first. Customer support is helpful, but more complicated billing or account issues can sometimes take time to resolve. Review Source AA Adewale A. HIO E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Apt payment" September 7, 2026 5.0 Overall, I would say that Strip has been good in terms of the turnaround time. The transaction for payments shows up almost immediately, unlike a few other payment platforms. I think this is a unique feature of the application Pros I think Strip understands the need of their users. I have had to worry about a payment that did not completely go through due to a connection outage, but I was able to continue from where I stopped - I think that is exceptional. I am not sure about what is being charged, but I have not had to pay any charge other than what I have purchased from sellers Cons My concern is that the seller might be passing charges on to me, which might be hidden. I care about how much I am really paying to access a service as a user, especially if the cost of the product is not the same for using optional payment platforms Review Source CB Casey B. Office Manager Facilities Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Value For Money Is Great" September 21, 2026 5.0 The Stripe experience has been wonderful! Its so simple to create a paylink for your clients to click on and pay a balance. I have ours set to automatically deposit next day. Pros Love the ease of being able to set a pay link to send to customers directly. Makes the collection process so easy! Cons As of so far, there is nothing that I don't care for. Its been pretty simple to send payment links and receive payments directly to our account. Review Source TS Tracy S. Insurance agent Insurance Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Stripe billing" September 1, 2026 5.0 Pros What I love about stripe billing would be the organization of the software and the access to it. It is also affordable. Cons I do not have any dislikes on using stripe billing. I would recommend this software to users and employers. Review Source cB candida B. founder, coach Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "recommend stripe for easy payment " February 1, 2025 5.0 Overall I recommend it. Simple learning curve, easy to see sales and take sales.can customise to my brand for the customer. Pros Looks very sleek for the customer and is easy to adapt to your brand style and colours. Cons It took me a while to work out how to set up product and discount code. Switched from [PayPal Payments](https://www.capterra.com/p/207944/PayPal/) Easier to use simpler, clearer and better value for money Review Source SP Sam P. Founder Photography Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Big business reliability, perfect for small business owners" November 4, 2025 5.0 Fantastic, I have never needed to shop around - but when I do Stripe still looks like the best option. It suits my small creative organisation perfectly. I'd love to see more features added for access control and multiple users, as well as automated commission calculations for my team. Pros Ease of use. Stripe integrates with my business workflows perfectly, and introduces helpful analytics and additional integration options, all of which are explained well and easy to manage. They also allow both scheduled and instant payouts with minimal clicks, making it really easy flexible for small businesses, or anyone keeping a clsoer eye on cashflow. Cons It can be tricky to manage with multiple ecommerce instances - it's too easy to accidentally allow third parties to configure new stripe accounts rather than interfacing with an existing account. This hwoever is likely the fault of the third party rather than the stripe platform. Review Source EC Ewan C. Billing and Accounts Administrator Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simplified recurring invoicing services." June 30, 2025 5.0 It took a lot of the work out of managing subscriptions and reduced the amount of manual invoice chasing we had to do particularly with our hosted telecom infrastructure. Pros Creating recurring plans in Stripe is relatively easy and managing customer billing schedules can be managed directly from the Stripe dashboard. Dunning characteristics also assist us in minimizing churn. Cons We still need dev support for more complicated workflows some things aren’t plug-and-play, particularly when syncing with our CRM.

Nutritionist Alternative Medicine Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best invoicing tool on the market" April 10, 2025 5.0 Love it and will continue to use for my business. Pros Simple, multiple features and price competitive! Cons Some of the features could be organised in a more straightforward manner Switched from [Square Payments](https://www.capterra.com/p/170278/Square-Payments-Processing/) Less fees and better return foe investment Review Source AC Ashley C. Creator Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very Useful" June 20, 2026 5.0 Overall it is a great experience and it’s a very organized app to use to keep track of bank statements as well Pros The invoicing and the customer support are very helpful when you are setting up your account for getting payments Cons Sometimes it was a little complicated to set up or understand but otherwise it was not too bad to figure out Review Source LS Lindsey S. Director of Marketing Operations Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use billing" May 5, 2025 5.0 We've used Stripe for both end users and larger clients without issue for several years. Pros Stripe is an incredibly easy billing platform to use, they've simplified the process considerably. Cons There's no way for us to set up recurring billing for large clients until after they manually pay their first invoice. Review Source AS Avery S. Manager Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Super easy!!!" April 1, 2025 5.0 I’ve used this daily for my business. I also used this for my side business. Pros I like how easy and convenient it is. Very user friendly Cons I had no complaints with this application!! Review Source DB Danielle B. Administrator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great for straight forward use" May 30, 2025 3.0 It is great for ease of setup but the experience of having a coupon to discount a rate for our returning members and applied every month and not the one tie it was intended for has created additional invoices on my part. Pros I enjoy being able to bill our members on a reoccurring monthly basis. Not having to go into my books each month and send invoices is beyond helpful. Cons Setting up a discount for returning members was easy but it is being applied every month so I will have to go in and resend a corrected invoice for payment. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Developer Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 2+ years ### "As a programmer I can tell, very used, easy to implement, but a bit problematic for non-US companies" February 1, 2025 5.0 Pros In my last job I worked implementing Stripe on the platform the documentation is very friendly and easy to understand, making the learning curve a no problem to take Cons If I want to implement stripe as a freelancer job, or also for a small company outside the US, the implementation process to access to the API is difficult Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Data Analyst Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great for automation and billing, but a bit expensive for small teams" October 8, 2025 5.0 Pros It is super easy to set up and use, automates recurring payments effortlessly, and makes invoicing clear and simple. Cons It can be pricey for small businesses, and reporting feels limited, and fixing billing errors takes time. Review Source OH Olivia H. Owner Publishing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great and easy to use" April 29, 2025 5.0 Stripe has made it easier for me to get payments for the different products I sell online. Pros Stripe was easy to set up and lets me have more than one "billing" store for the different places I sell products. Cons With more than one login it can be complicated to see what store I'm in.

They provide billingt we can easily share with our accountant. Once set up, Stripe operates on autopilot, making it have experience information thaa fantastic software solution for collecting billing. Pros Stripe simplifies the process of accepting online payments from clients. Cons Setting up was challenging, and it required extensive confirmation from the IRS. Although this process was time-consuming, it ensured that our business was legitimate and not a scam. Review Source Arjun K. Co-founder Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fastest, easiest way to get set up on billing" December 9, 2023 5.0 I've had a great time with the product. It is incredibly convenient to work with through portal and API, and meets most of my business needs, though I wish I could manage some of my paper check payments with it, and that the subscription product wans't trying to upsell me constantly. That said, it's an easy recommendation. Pros \- incredibly fast to set your business up - API is very direct and flexible for subscriptions, billing, invoices, you name it - very easy to attach metadata and connect back to other platforms - online portal is quite useful Cons \- too many upsells on the subscription management service - poor at handling partial payments - cannot handle physical payments (check). lockbox feature has been in beta forever. Review Source TM Tisunge M. Technologist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Stripe effectiveness " January 7, 2023 5.0 Organised biling, invoicing and payments can be a difficult job, my finances needed a reliable platform that can be effective with the amount of documents I process each week. I discovered stripe at a correct time and it helped me to be efficient more than ever. Pros Stripe stands out of its competition, its helpful, the fact that subscription on stripe is very easy, you can invoice directly from the website, it integrates perfectly with cloud-based accounting softwares, the dashboard is simple enough to log into and transactions via the phone are convenient and you have alot of information about stripe at your fingertips, very helpful. Cons Despite the good things that I know stripe with, sometimes payments takes longer, up to a week(s) to be deposited in one's bank accounts, stripe comes with no hardware to process transactions like some of its competitors, searching is too slow and doesn't seem to be updated often.
