Seems like every time there’s a negative Stripe story on here, the inevitable question, “any alternatives?” gets asked. Hell, I was tempted to ask myself. Instead, I decided to search hn.algolia.com to see for myself what others have recommended in the past. Might as well share the list with y’all, make it meta. — 2Checkout | https://www.2checkout.com Adyen | https://www.adyen.com Amazon Pay | https://pay.amazon.com Authorize.net | https://www.authorize.net Balance | https://www.getbalance.com Braintree | https://www.braintreepayments.com ChargeBee | https://www.chargebee.com Chargify | https://www.chargify.com Checkout.com | https://www.checkout.com DigitalRiver | https://www.digitalriver.com Dwolla | https://www.dwolla.com FastSpring | https://fastspring.com GoCardless | https://gocardless.com MangoPay | https://www.mangopay.com Mollie | https://www.mollie.com Opayo (previously SagePay) | https://www.opayo.co.uk Paddle | https://www.paddle.com Payoneer | https://www.payoneer.com PayPal | https://www.paypal.com Qonto | https://qonto.com/en Spreedly | https://www.spreedly.com Square | https://squareup.com Verifone | https://www.verifone.com/en/us White | https://whitepayments.com — Observations from my data collection: Sassy appears to have been acquired by FastSpring. Balanced Payments apparently went under but I found another payment service called “Balance” instead. Paymill is defunct but their Github org has a bunch of code. No idea what happened to Spryng Payments but Spryng still exists. It’s also worth mentioning that a true “Stripe alternative” simply does not exist. No one does everything they do and I’m pretty sure most services are lacking in the developer documentation department. Still, having options is always great.
