Well no. I'm comparing not using someone else's solution to building a checkout process on Stripe and PayPal. So we're not using PayPal Pro, we are using the REST API. We've built our own lovely (and I mean it is really nice) checkout page, we set up our billing plan, fire it off through the API to PayPal and get the response back. It is exactly what you want when you want to use PayPal solely as PayPal is a payment method as opposed to the rest of the services which are not of interest to us or OUR customers. They basically lower conversion rate on the way to making a sale. In that process we want to use coupons like maybe 98% of ecommerce companies do. On Stripe this ability is native. On PayPal my dev will need to spend a day coding a coupon system. Yay! No big deal because we can do it. But still a hurdle that really doesn't need to be here.
