PayPal vs Stripe vs Authorize.net vs Amazon Payments – Which Is Best for a WordPress Site
A few key points to consider:
PayPal Standard is available in 203 countries.
Next up we have Stripe, arguably the most popular PayPal alternative available.
Why is Stripe so popular? Because it gives you the opportunity to take on-site payments without the monthly fee. If you’re a WooCommerce user wanting to integrate Stripe using the official extension, it will set you back $79, though.Stripe is a slightly trickier proposition to configure, especially vs PayPal Standard – after all, Stripe is targeted at developers. If you know what you’re doing, though, or you’re willing to hire someone, then Stripe is one of the best payment gateways for the job.
Stripe also has an effective anti-fraud team on-hand to deal with any dubious transactions. It supports recurring payments out-the-box, too, and is one of the best solutions for international businesses – you can accept over 100 currencies, which are automatically converted to your default currency.
Here is a summary of the all-important key points:Stripe is currently available in 21 countries, with more expected to be added. (Vs PayPal, it’s not a lot)
