I'm using Stripe in production for my own app and the headline is simple: it just works.
The API is well-documented, payments clear reliably, subscriptions and webhooks behave the way the docs say they will, and I've never had to second-guess whether a charge actually went through. For a solo builder shipping something real, that reliability is worth a lot I'm not spending engineering time firefighting payments, which means I can spend it on the product.
It's also genuinely global, which matters the moment you have a customer outside your home country.
Stripe is one of those tools where the docs are so good it almost feels like cheating. Set up the full checkout + webhook flow for Signum in an afternoon — user upgrades, webhook hits the backend, plan updates in Supabase, done. The test mode is underrated, simulating failed payments and edge cases before going live saved me from some embarrassing bugs in production.
Stripe is the gold standard for payment infrastructure. The API is clean, well-documented, and a joy to integrate — whether you're setting up one-time payments, subscriptions, or complex billing logic. The dashboard gives you clear visibility into revenue, customers, and payouts without needing to dig through spreadsheets.
