Thinking about not using paypal.

We have started to use Stripe, I really like how easy it is to integrate to it and if you are using an off the shelve billing system, there is a good choice there is a plugin for it, the guys at Stripe are very friendly and it's a merchant and gateway all in one, advise you check them out.
Also great dashboard - http://stripe.com

Their checkout is indeed amazing and integration codes is seamless, are you using this at Onapp Carlos? Haven't noticed it yet.
Personally i dont really like the paypal as they have no protect to any virtual service. As long as buyer is dispute as Payment not authourized, you will lose the dispute. Although client email ID and paypal ID are matched.

If you are planing to target US clients, then you need to use paypal cause mostly of USA people use paypal
At one point I was using the Paypal Payflow Pro to enable processing credit cards directly in the billing panel, as well as accepting payments through the Paypal Standard. After using it for almost a year and some issues with the payment processor on the Paypal Payflow Pro gateway I dropped that portion in favour for Stripe in regards to processing credit cards.
As for dropping the Paypal Standard, I don't think I could personally even consider doing that unless I was having major issues with that payment method. Too many people rather pay using their Paypal accounts then provide payment details directly to a service provider they have not used before. (I myself will pay using Paypal than provide my credit card information online to a service provider I've never used before).

Paypal drives more than 90% of the income to this kind of business. People is more aware of the fewer probabilities of a card fraud due to Paypal not showing their credit card information to merchants. Dropping Paypal would be dropping 90% of business.
We use another Stripe as an alternative direct CC processor and we get much more disputes for this payments than what we do for those processed through Paypal.

Trust level!Unfortunately PayPal is a must. I have no issues with them overall. They are easy to work with and customers generally love them.

Nobody could beat paypal . haha
In popularity, it will be a while, if ever, for someone to really catch up to their model and be at their level. Ultimately it would be very nice to see the market go in the direction of Bitcoin just because it is cheaper. However it does not provide customer assurances, since its pretty much a one way lane without any sort of recourse if the entity you sent coins to refuses to refund you.

The Paypal product is too widely accepted and feel it is almost a requirement to have, we see a lot of clients that change from bit pay to paypal.

If Google's payment service isn't discontinued then it could be a great contender to PayPal. Unfortunately it has been confirmed that it will end in March.
I still utilize PayPal for the only reason that if I didn't I would lose a lot of business (majority of it).

Glad to see you stuck it out with paypal! as everyone mentioned, for online hosting sales, its the top dog.
