You're in a pretty good spot if your choice is between Braintree and Stripe.
Some of us are still stuck with stagnant vendors like Beanstream/Bambora/Moneris that seem to have missed the last 15 years of developments in the web space.
Why did we switch from Braintree to Stripe?

Re: Why did we switch from Braintree to Stripe?
#62I chose Braintree over Stripe for my application. Want to know why? Because Stripe doesn't want to do business with me. Stripe only operates in a limited number of countries. Until they decide to actually allow me to use them, articles like these are, well, amusing I guess.
"doesn't want to do business with me" is a bit much. I'm sure they'd love to do business with as many companies as possible, but finance is one of the most regulated industries in most countries; it's not trivial to enter new markets.
Perhaps it isn't trivial, but somehow Braintree does service me and Stripe does not. It has been like that for many years now, so I can only assume it is not a priority for Stripe, hence "doesn't want to do business with me".
