Stripe is usually better for WooCommerce if you want the smoothest online checkout, strong subscription support, and broad payment methods like Apple Pay and Google Pay. It has excellent developer tools, reliable webhooks, and often better global coverage. Square is better if you sell both online and in-person, because it unifies POS, inventory, and payments in one system. Square can simplify retail operations, but some WooCommerce features and extensions work more naturally with Stripe. Fees are similar, so decide based on your workflow: online-first stores usually pick Stripe, while physical shops or pop-up sellers often pick Square. Also check availability, payout speed, refunds, and dispute handling in your country.
