Compared a few options
Evaluated this against two competitors. Where it wins: global payouts and multi-currency support and robust, well-documented APIs. Where it lags: advanced features require developer resources. On balance the feature set — especially invoicing, tax, and revenue reporting — justifies the 5 stars for our use case.
Use it every day
Honestly didn't expect to like it this much. Radar fraud detection powered by ML is exactly what I needed, and robust, well-documented APIs. but I reach for it almost every day now and it just clicks.
Years in this space
I've evaluated a lot of these over the years. What stands out here is developer APIs, SDKs, and webhooks — handled better than most — and wide global payment method support. Worth the time if this is your use case.

Does the job
Pretty happy overall. Online and in-person payment processing just works and scales from startups to enterprises. Transaction fees can add up at scale can be annoying, but no dealbreakers — I'd recommend it to a friend without hesitating.
