    They are both great but the reputation of Paypal Payments Pro which has been around a lot longer is a significate difference when dealing with vendors. Paypal Payments Pro is a well respected name and known for making monetary transaction safe and secure . This gives us …

    It is an excellent alternative, with a great interface, however, we become much more familiar with PayPal Payments because most of our clients and business partners use it, it makes our work environment more pleasant, and we have no problems processing payments.

    Stipe is a little more complex to use but has better rates. In this particular instance, the client was more familiar with PayPal and wished to go with something they had heard of. They had already used PayPal (and had an account) and said that they felt more comfortable using …

    We use PayFast to accept local online payments in South Africa. PayFast works well to receive Rands although PayFast does not support invoicing. PayFast does however support recurring payments in the form of a "payment subscription". Payfast has fewer overall features however, …

    I believe Cash App and Venmo are better ways to transfer money with better customer service and support and so many less restrictions.

    From my personal experience, PayPal Payments is by far the easiest to implement and better supported and documented. Other options are either over complicated or too expensive.

    PayPal is much easier to use and it gave me options to pay through PayPal directly when doing online purchases. Costs were also more advantageous as I wouldn't have large amounts of money to transfer.

    Stripe is not as robust as PayPal. PayPal offers way more services and features compared to Stripe. Stripe is a good platform that integrates well with other software. But Stripe doesn't have all the benefits that a giant like PayPal has. Stripe is a bit more difficult to set …

    For us, TransferWise was a very good option to be able to send and receive payments, it is a very reliable system and allowed our employees to receive payroll money safely, however, the reason we prefer PayPal Payments is because offers us a more instantaneous receipt of money, …

    Stripe has lower fees which I like better, but money takes longer to reach my bank.

    I haven't heard of Stripe freezing people's funds either, which is a major concern of mine in continuing to use PayPal.

    PayPal Payments, at the end of the day, was an easy sell to management and an auto integration with our eCommerce software. We already informally accepted PayPal for international customers to reduce risk, and taking it a step further was an easy next step. It was a one or …

    We use Authorize.Net on one of our other websites as the payment processor. It is good too but definitely took a while to integrate because of some issues. PayPal Payments was much easier.

    I don't think there's really any competition here. There's Venmo (also owned by PayPal) who is now offering business accounts, but it still isn't quite the same.

    The closest thing in terms of ease of use would be Apple Pay or Google Pay (and there are a handful of others out …

    We chose PayPal Payments about 10 years ago because it was easy to get up and running. We had not considered using another provider until recently when we had a less-than-positive experience with PayPal customer service. Stripe is an up-and-coming competitor with PayPal …

    • Paytm is an Indian competitor of PayPal Payments. Which supports UPI transactions, but not easy to make international payments like PayPal.

    We use PayPal Payments largely because it's easy and all of our partners, on the supply side and the client side, can use it, too. It makes the payment process simple and fast, and many partners already use PayPal Payments, so it saves them time, too. We trust the name PayPal …

    We use other products for other situations, but as far as sending money PayPal is hard to beat. We've used Square POS at live events to collect donations and payments for tickets, simply because the swipe accessory for iPhone was convenient and easy to use. We haven't had live …
