Of the three, my first choice is Stripe (fast transfer of funds - 2 days, easy setup), Amazon Pay would be second choice (5-7 day transfer of funds, longer setup, more secure than Paypal which can and does freeze funds), Paypal (3-5 day transfer-sometimes longer, easy setup, …

At the time Braintree was cheaper and much quicker and easier to implement then Barclaycard. Braintree will pay you in the currency of your choice (within reason) which is a distinct advantage over PayPal which is limited to your domestic currency.

I find it's extremely easy to use Amazon Pay, at least as a consumer. If you have an active Amazon account, and if you have Prime, your features (free shipping) are already connected and ready to use. The advantages are that you don't have to enter new payment info into another new e-commerce site and your Amazon Prime shipping advantages are already built into your options. At least, this has been the case for me the few times I've used it so far - on a couple of different online stores. I also had to cancel an item and the reimbursement went through quickly and easily as well.

Braintree is a good payment processor if you are looking to accept multiple payment methods across multiple geographies and localizations. It is also a good place to keep a single source of truth for customer payments and keeping payment methods on file. If you are only in one geography or would be fine with accepting only a single payment type, Braintree is not a good choice.

Cons
  • I've not seen a great deal of advertising across various social medium to promote this product across large industries.
  • I don't know if there is an offline feature where transactions can be made with a "pending" payment status, which ensures the seller the payment cannot be canceled or altered but allows for offline use. I'm not even sure this is a possibility.

  • Not all companies support the use of Braintree. I wish there was more back-end support on some of the sites we wanted to use. This is more about the sites we want to use and less about Braintree, but it's worth mentioning.

It's very helpful for our company. Amazon Pay is an easy use platform. Through this app, you can solve all the problems like pay electricity bills, employees salaries, and transfer money to anyone.

As a product, functionality has been fine for us. In our experience, some issues during On Boarding but because we had a dedicated Account Manager assigned to us, these issues were dealt with. Now we are a customer, it feels like they have stopped caring about us or aren't interested in working with us to resolve any issues we have.

Support Rating
Amazon Pay gets a rating of 9 because it does not drastically improve the business. That said, it allows us to offer another payment method for users who trust Amazon and will always or only checkout with Amazon Pay. The support team for Amazon Pay is top-notch and will help get all issues resolved.

Their support is a joke. There's nothing "supportive" about them. Every time I call in with an issue no one has an answer or even a recommendation. I am put on hold and no one ever comes back. It's time to find another processor.

Paypal's Business plan has a monthly charge in addition to the per transaction charges if you'd like to use recurring billing. Braintree gives you recurring billing options without the monthly charge and automatically sends a transaction receipt to the client each month. Once it is set up it is completely hands off which saves a lot of time.

Bank of America merchant products. They charge extra for setups that include manually entered credit cards. They also have high start up costs that would take a while to pay for themselves due since we don't process enough transactions to make it worthwhile.

Return on Investment
  • Amazon Pay instantly boosted our sales when I realized that customs prefer to use it over PayPal as just about everyone has an Amazon account and it makes it easier for them to just check out using Amazon Pay.
  • The processing fees while higher than the others we are using are the only downside to our return in using Amazon Pay.
  • Customers use their Amazon logins for their Amazon pay orders and it is as hassle-free as it gets.

  • The competitive rates we are receiving with Braintree through their program for BigCommerce enterprise customers have saved us quite a bit in sales costs.
  • Braintree's fraud detection is likely set to very high as when we switched to Braintree we only received 1 fraudulent transaction in 2 years which is a huge relief.
  • Prompt disbursements have granted us faster ROI than other payment processors.
