How Capterra verifies reviews

Capterra carefully verified over 2.5 million+ reviews to bring you authentic software experiences from real users.

All of our debit/credit sales and donations are processed with ChargeStripe. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with this service.

Pros

It’s easy and convenient to use with very low fees. ChargeStripe has been a lifesaver. Without ChargeStripe we would not survive.

Cons

There aren’t any aspects to this service that I don’t like. ChargeStripe is through and through a great service.

The two or three big players in this field don’t run a lightweight, straightforward, no frills model as clean as this one.

Pros

Started with this company when it advertised as being the least expensive solution for (credit) card processing. Industry changed, but I’ve used it as a backend for the ember ship site, and seems to work better, more seamless. No mess, no fuss — once set up.

Cons

Some of the backend elements were confusing, but eventually sorted it out.

It has been a quick, easy way to accept credit cards with reasonable fees.

Pros

I like the photo function that precludes the need for a card reader. I also like that there are no extra fees, just the per transaction fee with Stripe.

Cons

Multiproduct orders with discounts can be a bit clunky.

You must already have an account with Stripe in order to use this app. Figured I should mention that.

Pros

I like that it is so simple to use. You just enter the amount and the customer's credit card info and that's it. You can even scan the customer's card with your camera. This app is free!

Cons

Nothing bad to really say about this app.
