I agree that Stripe is significantly easier to integrate than PayPal, but Braintree has options for both credit card and PayPal integrations (because they're owned by PayPal) and also has a very nice API.

(I'm not affiliated with either, but I've used both.)

+1 for Braintree. We have used several different payment providers over the years, including PayPal alone. We switched to Braintree back when they were offering $50K in free payment transactions.

The payment integration was straightforward, and getting built-in support for PayPal (which accounts for 16% of our sales) and the ability to safely vault payment methods made it a no-brainer.

My only concern is Braintree is more expensive. Stripe doesn't change any additional percentage for non local currency while Braintree charges additional 1%.
