Are there any decent alternatives to stripe or is it the only game in town?

Paypal is basically a poor man's Stripe

Stripe is the best right now. Great user interface, great API, and awesome staff. Give it a try.

Stop using Stripe, this is what you sign up for when you use them. PayPal is not much better. Use Adyen, or a processor that doesn't have to squeeze every dollar out of the transaction like Google Payments.

What is ridiculous about Stripe's solution and how does it differ from PayPal's?

Try Stripe, i've heard many people consider it instead of Paypal.

Why did you choose them over Stripe?

Isn't this a prime candidate to be out-competed by stripe?

Done! That's called Adyen :Dhttps://www.adyen.com/It's an European company that's 10 times the size and has lower fees.Stripe having a harder time on that side of the Atlantic ;)

What's with the choice of Paypal over something nicer for customers like Stripe or Braintree?
