We were in the middle of migrating from PayPal to Braintree for a marketplace solution. Anyone have documentation or comments on Stripe vs. Balancedpayments.com vs. Braintree for marketplaces?
Balanced has been doing nothing but marketplace payments since early 2011, and have a history of coming out with the functionality most useful to marketplaces (and crowdfunders) 6-12 months before anyone else:
- Next-day payouts (same-day for WF)
- Stand-alone ACH payouts
- White-label merchant onboarding
- Dynamic soft-descriptor control
We've got a lot more coming out soon, and as an open company, you'll have a voice in exactly what we build.
That said, I'm not sure what your specific needs are, but shoot me an email at jkwade@balancedpayments.com and we can figure it out. Thanks!

We have two products built for marketplaces, including Stripe Connect (https://stripe.com/connect) and Stripe Payouts (https://stripe.com/blog/send-payouts-with-stripe), which differ depending on what type of marketplace you're building. Docs for Connect are here (https://stripe.com/docs/connect) and docs for Payouts are here (https://stripe.com/docs/tutorials/sending-transfers). Feel free to email me at cristina@stripe.com if you're not sure which would be the best fit for you.
