Hello everyone

Is adding Credit/Debit (Powered by Stripe) worth adding as a payment option?

That is exactly my percentage for the year. 113 out of 794 orders for 14.23%
If I didn't have it enabled I'm sure there is some percentage of those
113 orders that would refuse to use PayPal and I'd miss the sale.

I used Stripe for a year, but switched it off for a few reasons.

1.) Paypal is much better at getting buyers to enter correctly formatted shipping
addresses. So I don't have to try and guess the correct shipping address
or email the buyer.

2.) Makes filing taxes more complicated.

3.) Stripe doesn't integrate with my shipping software.

Stripe is certainly worth it if you are a full-time Bricklink seller.
