There are many great reasons to set up online payments with Stripe. Stripe gives your clients the ability to submit payment using funds taken directly from their bank accounts, as well as their credit and debit cards and their digital wallets. You can even use Stripe alongside PayPal as a payment processor without having to choose between the two. Beyond that, you will have access to several other key features.

No Hidden Fees

Your payments will have an upfront processing fee depending on what payment method you use. After that, there are no additional or hidden fees. Here is a break down of Stripe's processing fees:

Clients Cover Payment fees

You can have your clients cover the payment fees. Choose if you would like to mark-up your invoice by distributing the payment processing fees across all items or add a surcharge to the total invoice amount.
