The problem with every Stripe clone in Japan is that they're all great on the surface but they trip up on the attention to detail that Stripe has, and they just wind up feeling like inferior product as a result.

In addition, Stripe's documentation and support has always been top notch. Whenever I tried to get help from WebPay it took forever, and more than once I had to patch their own libraries to make things work properly.

I agree whole-heartedly. Copying foreign innovation for the Japanese market is a common business model in Japan, but it usually falls down on the details.
