I have been using it since 2018 and I have never felt the need to get any other payment gateway for receiving online payments. The security system is so enhanced that it automatically detects fraudulent payments and blocks it before the transaction goes through. > > **Cons**: The invoicing with Stripe is not very pleasing as it has basic templates which I do not use, because I require some additional lines to add to my invoice. > > Overall Stripe has been great with payment gateway, and I have never felt the need for another payment gateway for my business. ----- ### "Works for my car lot" — 5.0/5 > **Daniel** | *8 July 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I run a small used car dealership and started using Stripe mainly to take deposits online for vehicles before customers came in to finalize paperwork. Setup was honestly a lot easier than I expected. I was worried it would take a full day of messing around but I had it connected to my website within an hour. Customers can put down a hold on a car remotely which has genuinely saved a few sales since people can act fast before someone else buys it in person. The dashboard makes it simple to see who paid, how much, and when, without me having to dig through emails or texts trying to remember who sent what. I also like that I can send a payment link straight to a customer’s phone if they are not near a computer, which happens a lot in my business since people are usually calling from the lot or from home. > > **Cons**: The fees add up more than I expected once you are dealing with larger transaction amounts like vehicle deposits or full payments. A 3% fee on a $2k deposit is a lot different than a 3% fee on a normal online purchase. Customer support can also be slow when something actually goes wrong and in car sales timing really matters. Waiting on a support ticket while a customer is standing at the counter is stressful. There have also been a couple of times where a payment got flagged for review and took a day or two to clear, which is not ideal when someone is trying to buy a car same day. > > For a dealership like mine Stripe has been a solid tool for taking deposits and payments without needing a bulky point of sale system. It is reliable most of the time and customers seem comfortable using it since it feels familiar and secure. The fees and occasional payment holds are the main drawback but for the convenience of taking payments remotely and keeping everything organized in one dashboard it has been worth using. I would recommend it to another small dealership owner as long as they go in knowing the fees will eat into bigger transactions a bit more than they might expect. ----- ### "Solid payment software" — 5.0/5 > **Stuart** | *30 July 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that I can set up coupons with ease and allow people to trial my products for free but that it also turns those trials into MRR > > **Cons**: Some of the reporting is a little limited but actually I am not on a particularly high tier so perhaps I will get that next time I upgrade > > I have used it as a newbie and now in a company that have had it embedded for years and both experiences have been very good ----- ### "A Convenient, Centralized Hub for AR" — 4.0/5 > **Kaleb** | *23 May 2026* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Having our invoicing and accounts receivable in a single dashboard was helpful to a team that spans several time zones and has lots of moving pieces with various clients needing different billing cycles. > > **Cons**: Stripe's percentage is quite high on the larger-ticket billing. We paid several hundred dollars with our initial client payments, and there are more cost-efficient ways to bill one-off customers. ----- ### "Stripe works for day-to-day work with Stripe — know the fees and filters" — 4.0/5 > **christopher** | *14 August 2026* | Wireless | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: In the months we have been using it day to day I have used Stripe almost every working day for day-to-day work with Stripe. Mobile payments are not a novelty for us; they are how the front desk finishes checkout while the client is still standing there. A typical in-person collection that used to stall at the desk now finishes before the client is out the door. Notifications are noisy on a busy day, but they are reliable — I would rather clear a few extras than miss a failed send. > > **Cons**: What I like least is straightforward. Support replies have been fine when we have written in, just not fast enough for a payment that is stuck at 4:50 p. M. On a payday. The business activity view is thinner than a full merchant dashboard — filtering a busy month by client still takes more tapping than it should. None of this is a reason to leave, but it is the part of the week I notice. > > In the months we have been using it day to day I have used Stripe for day-to-day work with Stripe. This is how the tool behaves for us right now, not how a demo looked. On the positive side, contractor payouts that we used to batch on Mondays now go out the same afternoon we approve the hours. The constructive side is equally specific: support replies have been fine when we have written in, just not fast enough for a payment that is stuck at 4:50 p. M. On a payday. For a team our size, that tradeoff is one I can live with, and we are still on it. ----- Page: 1 / 136\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/49509/stripe?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/49509/stripe) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
