From the Payoneer review
Stripe's A grade reflects best-in-class developer tools and transparent flat-rate pricing, where Payoneer draws recurring complaints about complex, corridor-dependent fees. Payoneer remains the more natural fit for receiving marketplace payouts and managing multi-currency balances rather than running your own checkout.
Pick Stripe if you are building a custom online checkout and want developer-first APIs with transparent pricing
