I had problems last year with PayPal. This year, I was able to do it, no problem!

I will caution people about Stripe. I did get hacked through Stripe not too long ago.
Not sure if Stripe was the culprit or not. But, I got a suspicious charge on my Amex from a company we have never heard of and did not buy anything from that was charged through Stripe. I also order meal delivery for my mom through a company that uses Stripe and I had 2 attempts of someone other than myself trying to change my password. (I was alerted through email and called the company.) Again, not sure if it had anything to do with Stripe. But, since both were "Stripe" related, I became suspicious.
Just an FYI.
