I disagree. I use both Stripe and Paypal and Stripe is not just "better documentation". The APIs are far more reliable and stable, customer support is better with Stripe (in my experience) and overall, it is very friendly to developers. Paypal could HAVE eaten Stripe for lunch but considering their shitty way of doing things, they never bothered to improve. They are the incumbent but Stripe is far better.

This was my point. PayPal disrupted the banks and ACH processors. Stripe perfected the UX/DX.

PayPal is much larger than Stripe, afaik it's net worth is more and it's revenue is 3x.
