Friends, what is the best or recommended payment alternative to Paypal that can be used with Phoenix?

Any of the ones that come with Phoenix
I personally use Sage Pay Form or Opayo as it is now called
I also use it for PayPal payments as I found it better that using PayPal direct

PayPayl is a pain and they can be outlaws sometime. So looking for something reputable and reliable, no bad players like PayPal who can put a gun to your head whenever they like. So many complaints. @riawa has helped me get Stripe going and it's looking good. Better still, it's a U.K company and I can sue them if anything fishy goes on. PayPal is almost lawless.

No, Stripe is an American company with an office in Republic of Ireland.

I didn't know that Stripe is an American firm, thanks for pointing that out. They seem to be a better lot than PayPal. I've removed PayPal from my shop. By the way, can I ask you a question? Is there a way to configure my order numbers in phoenix instead of just the 2 digit incremental numbers?

We have tried Stripe and SagePay but we now use SagePay form without issues.
You have to open a payment provider account with them and also open a merchant account but fees are lower than PayPal.

Just what I wanted. Thanks @heatherbell

Talking about payments, I'm loving the Stripe platform. Customers can complete payment on my website instead of travelling all the way to PayPal and waiting for a flight back to my website without any covid quarantine requirements. Brilliant!!!
