Razorpay has been working hard to solve this problem. I used it last year but wasn't happy with their service since they were collecting mobile numbers (for some reason) and failed to send OTPs on time (issue i faced). They have apparently rebuilt it and promising some great features. How are you stacking against them as of now?
"What is the benefit of our using this over Stripe?" is likely to be a question you get often -- is there some area of coverage you're covering that Stripe cannot get to? Thanks a lot for all your hard work and All The Best All the Way!
E-Mandate is not currently available on Stripe. This is something that we do offer.
Does stripe work in India?
They are in "early access" mode in India to my knowledge
Do you allow to create plans in multiple currencies?
Not currently. It is only INR based for now.
