Stripe Vs Paddle
I have a question related pay platform partner, i saw in SASS adventure that the payment platform was Stripe and now is used Paddle in Wave. I ask this because i am from Romania and i want an objective opinion about this subject...or what are the benefit for one or another.
Hi there,
I believe that it is mostly a matter of personal preference. I believe that when the SaaS adventures course was created, Paddle was still not a thing in the Laravel community, which is why it was used as the payment processor.
Here is a good summary of some of the benefits of using Paddle vs Stripe:

And here is one more good discussion:

I personally prefer Paddle, but I've seen that quite a handful of people have had issues with their account verification process which has forced them to use Stripe.
We are planning to work on Wave v3, and based on the demand that we've seen we might end up coming up with a solution to support both Paddle and Stripe based on the user preferences.
Hope that this helps!
Best,
Bobby
v3 is has a date planned? I suppose that from Cashier(Stripe) docu can be done or there are specific details related to wave that i should take in consideration?
There is no date planned for Wave v3 yet.
You can take a look at this PR here which contains an example on how to change Paddle with Stripe:
