Stripe from The Top 10 Tools I Can’t Live Without…

Stripe - To run a business online, you must have a way to take payments. Stripe is the best (and easiest!) way to do that. Back in the “horse and buggy” days of the web (i.e. 5 years ago). Getting a merchant account was a major pain in the butt. They took at least 2 weeks to get setup. They were all expensive, froze funds without warning, and had complicated user interfaces. Then something magical happened. Some really smart person created Stripe. And now you can take payments online easy and effortlessly. It takes all of 5 minutes to get setup and start taking credit card payments online.
