Hi! Are you migrating from Paypal then?

mint sparrow Mar 26, 2025, 11:57 PM

#

We are currently both Stripe and Paypal, but want to nudge all Paypall users over to Stripe.

Do you separately integrate with each, or use Stripe for your Paypal stuff?

mint sparrow Mar 26, 2025, 11:59 PM

#

Separately integrate each, we would use Stripe for Paypal but that is not an option for US based companies.

#

Cool. So this is absolutely doable, but it's not exclusively a Stripe thing - your application would have to handle all of the logic.

So you already have a subscription integration with Paypal, and you'll like to move some customers to Stripe subscription if they want to use a different payment method (e.g., card ) ?

#

The goal is to continue to support Paypal users as they are, BUT if/when the opt to change their payment info or switch subscription plans, etc. that would force them to move to a Stripe subscription.

#

Got it. So I assume you have a web portal for your customer to manage their subscriptions, as well as managaing their payment info. And you'll like to trigger a subscription migration to Stripe when they change payment info / swith plan. Is my understanding correct?

mint sparrow Mar 27, 2025, 12:17 AM

#

Correct that is how it is setup today. We are looking at fully migrating over to Stripe with Stripe Billing to take advantage of Stripe's subscription management features.

Your understanding is correct - but I guess the subscription could already be in Stripe if the payment method can stay PayPal until the trigger happens - if that is easier/better?

#

Paypal payment method is only available for Stripe accounts based in Europe, and recurring payments with Paypal requires approval https://docs.stripe.com/payments/paypal

#

I understand that your Stripe account is US and that's why you can't use Paypal for payments/subscriptions.
