Stripe
Not replaceableeditor verdict · 0 votes
Online payment platform: card payments, subscriptions, invoices and transfers. Fees in Europe advertised at 1.5% + €0.25 for standard European cards, with no setup fee or monthly fee.
Accepting card payments means handling banking data (PCI DSS standard), applying the strong authentication required in Europe and managing fraud and disputes. It is not a module you write: even small sites go through a provider. Use Stripe or an equivalent; build the rest (basket, orders) around it.
What you lose
- Compliance with payment security rules
- Strong customer authentication
- Handling fraud and disputes
- Built-in subscriptions, invoices and transfers
