Payment processor comparison
The right processor depends on where you take payments, how custom your checkout is, and which hardware you need. We implement Square, Stripe, PayPal, and combinations of the three.
| Processor | Best for | Watch-outs |
|---|---|---|
| Square | Retail and restaurants that need POS hardware | Less flexible than Stripe for fully custom billing logic |
| Stripe | Custom apps, subscriptions, and marketplaces | In-person hardware is a weaker fit than Square |
| PayPal | Guest checkout and buyer trust | Fees and chargeback handling can be less predictable |
Square
Strong in-person hardware plus a straightforward online checkout. Often a fit for retailers that also sell in a shop or at events.
