Dynamics 365 has a wealth of functionality when it comes to Sales, Marketing, Customer Service, Project Service, Field Service and HR practices. One thing though that is not a part of Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (CE) platform is the mechanism to receive and make payments from within the Customer Engagement (CE) Platform. It is understandable that Microsoft does not have this area in the product road maps as giant Paypal already has captured 91% of the market share with Stripe making large strides just behind it
There is no doubt a gap reduction in the recent years with Dynamics 365 improving its Invoicing and Ordering functionality and and now an intelligent and automatic engine is doing most of what a typical payment gateway would market as their USP’s (Unique Selling Point), namely the recurring invoicing, timesheets integration and discounts.
In the recent years Stripe has gained tremendous popularity amongst modern businesses. With a strong API and SDK readily available to developers, it has become easier for businesses to either purchase a Stripe integration plugin for their ERP/CRM or get something developed from Scratch. Stripe allows an event-based approach which means unlimited number of incoming payments notifications, refund requests and cancellation requests can be queued up and delivered to the ERP system for further processing. It is also easier to audit sequence of actions by the user and financial transactions by the use of buffering.
