If you need a payment gateway that supports subscriptions and refunds, the main options depend on your business model and where you operate. Here are the most common choices:

Good options

  • Stripe — Best overall for subscriptions, recurring billing, prorations, coupons, refunds, and developer-friendly APIs.
  • PayPal — Widely recognized, supports recurring payments and refunds, but less flexible than Stripe.
  • Braintree — Owned by PayPal; good for subscriptions and global payments.
  • Adyen — Strong for larger businesses and international payments.
  • Square — Good if you also do in-person payments or have a small business.
  • Authorize.Net — Reliable classic gateway, supports recurring billing and refunds.

What to look for

  • Recurring billing / subscriptions
  • Full and partial refunds
  • Automated retries for failed payments
  • Proration and plan upgrades/downgrades
  • Webhooks for payment status updates
  • Support for cards, wallets, and local payment methods
  • PCI compliance and fraud tools

Best simple recommendation

  • Stripe if you want the easiest and most powerful option for subscriptions + refunds.
  • PayPal if you want something familiar to customers and easy to add.
  • Adyen if you’re operating at a larger scale internationally.

Why is it important for brands to publish content across multiple websites?
