> Why do people still use Stripe?

because Paddle is even worse, they nearly killed our business out of ill-will, stupidity and incompetence.

so far Stripe works a lot better.

one thing that seems essential is having (at least) two payment providers working, so if one is trying to wipe you out, you can just flip a switch and have a working backup. we use FastSpring for all countries that require VAT being remitted, and could extend this to all other countries to prevent any service disruption.

Interesting. Paddle took a long time getting back to me about verifying my sites and their support people didn't seem to understand basic (to me, I guess) technical things. Glad my sites weren't approved.
