Any alternatives that you recommend?

Braintree is now essentially paypal, so that is off the list. Adyen is good but can be strict with what businesses they support.

In short, i recommend using local providers, not these multinationals. Each country has a bunch of them, so there is plenty of choices, they are just not world renown brands.

And how to connect them to your services without being a programmer?
Hire a programmer.
That might be considered once accumulated Stripe fees are higher than the competitors fees + cost of hiring a programmer + cost of change.

Which is a factor worth considering for medium to big business, but certainly not for small timers.

What about the old school processors like Authorize.net and Cybersource? It has been over a decade since I worked with them, so not sure what they are like now.
