Payments for Laravel

Among 18 makers' products we track that are built with Laravel, here's what they chose for payments — each counted from a live-product source.

Payment processor or merchant of record (MoR). With a processor you are the seller and must register for and remit sales tax/VAT yourself. An MoR resells your product, so tax and compliance are theirs, for a higher fee.

What makers on Laravel chose

Counts are live products with a source, not market share; a product using two options counts in both.

Best forAdding PayPal and Venmo as a checkout option for buyers who won't type in a card.

Trade-offYou are still the merchant of record for tax; disputes and account holds are a common complaint, and its developer tools are clunkier than Stripe's.
