Some people don't WANT PayPal. I had a bad experience with an eBay /PayPal charge back scam 5 years ago. I.e. freezing of my entire account and no human to find to unfreeze it.

I will never accept PayPal for the rest of my life.

It's not mutually exclusive. It's just an extra option (much like Stripe allows you to select Card or Bitcoin, for example).

Ah. But at that point, not seeing the Braintree draw over stripe. They seem more or less similar, with Stripe maybe being a bit easier to set up.

yeah, braintree only has a potential benefit over stripe once you're forced to start caring about conversions & breakages (countries that expect to use PayPal, old people who trust the brand, etc)
