Comment on: ask hn: PayPal or Stripe?
Stripe is much more flexible IMO. PayPal is all about customers having a PayPal account, and will really push non account holders to create an account when paying.Stripe supports a lot more payment methods: both global and region specific wallets, bank transfers, etc - there's even a beta (I think in EU only for now) to accept PayPal payments via stripe.If you wanted to compare stripe you'd really need to compare it to Braintree (which is owned by PayPal), which offers a similar concept: integrate once to support multiple payment methods, but from memory it supports less than Stripe.
