Rationale

PayPal is a strong match for the Stripe Payments Platform concept. It offers comprehensive payment processing capabilities, including online and in-person payments, and supports various payment methods globally. The developer documentation clearly indicates robust API integration options. PayPal also provides features for recurring payments (subscriptions), fraud protection, and reporting tools. While not explicitly named 'Stripe Connect', PayPal's 'Platform and Marketplace' solution serves a similar purpose for multi-party payments. They also offer 'Working Capital Loan' which aligns with 'Stripe Capital', and 'Invoicing' which matches 'Stripe Invoicing'. The presence of 'POS System' and 'Tap to Pay' aligns with 'Stripe Terminal'. Multi-currency support and global payment methods are also explicitly mentioned. The developer documentation also mentions a 'Webhook Event System' and 'Identity' which aligns with identity verification.
