The right payment provider can give your business a competitive advantage, but should you choose GoCardless or Stripe? To help, here are 5 reasons brands are choosing GoCardless for recurring payments.
By focusing only on recurring payments, GoCardless has built a platform that is tailor-made for brands that collect repeating payments. GoCardless is made for subscriptions, invoices, and instalments. Every new feature and every product update is built solely to improve the experience of collecting recurring payments.
By building GoCardless on bank debit, a pull-based payment mechanism, around 97.5% of payments are collected successfully at the first time of asking, and with smart payment retries, businesses can increase this figure to as high as 99.5%.
While bank debit is available through Stripe, it's primarily known for processing card payments, which fail 10-15% of the time.
Make international payment collection simple, use GoCardless to collect recurring payments from over 30 countries, including Australia, New Zealand, the USA, Canada, the UK, and Eurozone countries.
Enter a new market confidently, let GoCardless take care of local payment regulation compliance, and have your international payments arrive on time into your dedicated local currency bank account.
Don't have a local currency bank account? Soon you will have the option to take international payments converted via the fairest exchange rate before it arrives in your home bank account.
Making sure your business is always able to collect recurring payments is vital, as is ensuring your customers always enjoy an amazing payment experience. If you ever do need help, our award-winning support team is here to help. Unlike Stripe, you can simply pick up the phone and speak to us directly. We also offer email support.
Brands that offer 5 or more payment methods grow faster than those who offer 3 or less*. Plus, in many major markets and use cases, bank debit is the preferred payment method.
You don’t have to choose GoCardless or Stripe. You can create a diversified payment experience to satisfy all your customers by using both payment providers: GoCardless for bank debit and Stripe for card payments.
