    Chose Braintree, a PayPal service
    We use Braintree because we got recommended by another user, it has no fees at the beginning and it's very well documented.

    Chose Stripe Payments
    While pricing was higher, the developer agility offered by Stripe, along with the sheer ease of use made it worth the higher fees. While others may be offering better UX now, Stripe is still the leader in UX among their peers, and if constantly adding more features and …
