>Users love PayPal.

Genuinely surprised to hear all the love for PayPal, recently. I don't use it much these days (did, years ago but found the experience fairly neutral) but remember a period of everyone seemingly hating PayPal because... I actually don't know? Maybe something about niche cases where it was harder to get them sorted out via PayPal vs other services (which I can imagine to be annoying)?

Consumers love Paypal. Its easy and fast no hassle. Business owners hate Paypal. Too much commission, random account suspensions, locked accounts, too much consumer protection and more.

Is it significantly cumbersome as compared to say Stripe? Worth taking the trade off and not offering something your consumers love?

In the US i am not sure. Everyone has a cc. But in Germany paypal for sure. Really depends on the country.

As a buyer, I love Paypal because it has always my back.
