In Summary
2Checkout is as comprehensive an offering in the payment processor niche as you’ll find today.
A very mature offering with a comprehensive array of features and benefits.
Our take on 2Checkout vs. Stripe…
2Checkout is like an alternative to Stripe.
In other words, they both make processing payments online easy, effective and affordable.
But the main difference I see is that 2Checkout allows more international payment coverage at the POS (point of sale).
- With 2Checkout, payments are accepted in over 200 countries (and this is no surprise because 2Checkout solution started as a POS payment software. )
- With Stripe payments are currently only accepted in 46 countries.
Recommendation
If true global coverage is key to your eCommerce success, then it might pay you dividends to pursue 2Checkout, rather than Stripe.
Either way, Gravity Forms is a perfect complement with add-ons to support both payment processors.
