## What the models said for it

- "Best for: International B2B payments and online businesses ... Standout: Global reach with robust integration capabilities" (Kimi K2, B2B payment acceptance)

- "The Best Overall for Zero Overhead: Stripe ... Stripe is the industry standard for low-barrier entry." (Qwen 3.7 Flash, B2B payment acceptance)
- "Online B2B marketplace or SaaS with complex payment flows | Stripe (or Adyen for omnichannel)." (GLM 4.7 FlashX, B2B payment acceptance)

## And against it

- "Many advise avoiding third-party processors like this, Stripe, or Square for similar reasons" (Grok 4.20, Business bill pay)
