    Stripe or PayPal

    My 2 cents is to go with Stripe. A company that is expanding their features constantly and have brilliant customer support. Contrast that with PayPal where it is not unusual for them to freeze your account for weeks without explanation. Rule of thumb generally is - if you are looking for...

    Require Credit Card for Online Free Trial or Not?

    Alan, thanks for that. So I guess with that in mind, you are requiring a card on sign up now? I'd be interested to hear what domain your product is in e.g. Enterprise Software.
