[1] Need for paypal: Do you think you do not need paypal if you have stripe

[2] Integration effort: is this a blocker for adding paypal?

[3] Checkout experience: how much do you care about the UX of your checkout given you have to render the paypal button separately

[4] Analytics / ops: How would you manage stripe and paypal dashboards separately for analytics, chargebacks, refunds etc

[5] Pricing: Paypal's pricing might work out to be cheaper for businesses of certain scale, would this be a decision driver?

In addition, a second processor would de-risk your payments by preventing a lock in with any one processor. Is this an important consideration for you?

Note: We are not affiliated with Stripe / Paypal, we are building an open source payment switch which comes pre integrated with stripe, paypal, other processors. Also we are not referring to integration on e-commerce platforms like shopify
