My favorite thing about stripe isn't even their product. It's the support. I know when I have a question, I can reach out, and speak to someone who has some clue about what I need. It's really enjoyable, and I almost look forward to speaking with them it's so anathema to anything else.
Absolutely. I've been having a nightmare with PayPal for the past couple of weeks, to the point that they made me believe I maybe wasn't complying with local laws. I checked with Stripe to make sure my parallel use with them is all above board and properly legal. Got a very quick and comprehensive reply that it is. So of course PayPal are using "local law" as a scapegoat for their own bananas unnecessary rules.
This is my experience as well. If you have any issue, you just start a chat and they will find an explanation. So very different to the other dominant payment processor I won't mention that is trying its hardest to keep you away.
