I'm very happy with Stripe and for their success, but I plan on switching all my payments to go through PayPal again. I did some math and PayPal offers a better deal for Canadian businesses after Stripe bumps me off of their grandfathered conversion fees in a couple months.

I love the slick interface, but it's simply not worth the thousands per year I'll be saving with the switch.

For me the main selling point for any payment processor is the minimization of fees. Sure, the API's are nice, but I already use a payment gateway for that.

I'm a few clicks away from saving thousands. Am I missing anything?

If you're doing enough business they'll usually cut your fees if you ask (according to a friend who did just that).

Enough business is a lot of business though, I just emailed them about this and they said to even talk to the department that considers you, you need 3 straight months of $100k+ MRR.
