Plans

Payments (one-off)

Pay as you go

At the limit
Bills for extra usage
Usage pricing
  • 2.9% of payment volume
  • Transactions: $0.3 per payment
  • US pricing: 2.9% + $0.30 per successful domestic card payment, with no setup or monthly fee.
  • Extras on top: +1.5% for international cards, +1% when currency conversion is needed, +0.5% for manually entered cards. These are not in the estimate.
  • Other US rates: ACH Direct Debit 0.8% capped at $5.00; instant payouts 1.5% (minimum fee $0.50); standard payouts on Stripe's normal schedule are free.
  • Disputes: $15.00 for each dispute you receive, plus $15.00 if you respond manually. The second $15.00 is returned if you win. In rare cases card networks add their own fees.
  • Stripe is not a merchant of record here: collecting and filing sales tax and VAT is your job. Stripe Tax Basic adds 0.5% per transaction where you are registered to collect tax (or $0.50 per transaction through the API).
  • Read from Stripe's US pricing page (stripe.com/es-us/pricing, the Spanish-language US page, because stripe.com/us/pricing shows Canadian dollars when opened from Canada) and checked against an English archive copy of stripe.com/pricing dated 2026-10-07.

At the limit
Bills for extra usage

  • Card processing is the same as Payments: 2.9% + $0.30, plus 1.5% for international cards and 1% when currency conversion is needed. ACH Direct Debit is 0.8% capped at $5.00.
  • Stripe also sells fixed-price Billing plans for higher volumes; they are not modelled here.
  • You remain responsible for sales tax and VAT unless you add Stripe Tax.
