What Is Stripe's Processing Fee?
Stripe’s processing fee is the amount Stripe deducts from every successful payment before depositing the remainder into your account. It is made up of two parts: a percentage of the transaction amount, and a fixed fee per transaction.
In the United States, Stripe’s standard processing fee is 2.9% + $0.30 per successful online card payment. This means on a $100 sale, Stripe takes $3.20 and you receive $96.80. The percentage covers the cost of routing the payment through card networks like Visa and Mastercard. The fixed fee covers the administrative cost of processing the transaction regardless of its size.
Stripe does not charge monthly fees, setup fees, or cancellation fees for standard accounts. You only pay when you process a payment.
| Country | Processing Fee | Fixed Fee | On $100 / equiv. you receive |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | 2.9% | + $0.30 | $96.80 |
| United Kingdom | 1.5% | + £0.20 | £98.30 |
| Australia | 1.75% | + AU$0.30 | AU$97.95 |
| Canada | 2.9% | + CAD$0.30 | CAD$96.80 |
| European Union | 1.5% | + €0.25 | €98.25 |

| New Zealand | 2.7% | + NZD$0.30 | NZD$97.00 |
| UAE | 2.9% | + AED$1.00 | AED$96.10 |
| India | 2.0% | + ₹2.00 | ₹98.00 |

What Is Stripe's Core Fee Structure for 2026?
Stripe operates on a “pay-as-you-go” model, charging a percentage of each transaction plus a fixed fee. Here’s the baseline for 2026:
| Transaction Type | Fee |
|---|---|
| Domestic Cards (Online) | 2.9% + $0.30 |
| International Cards | 3.9% + $0.30 |
| ACH Direct Debit | 0.8% (capped at $5) |
| In-Person Payments | 2.7% + $0.05 |
Note: Fees may vary slightly by country (e.g., 1.5% + £0.20 in the UK, 1.75% + AU$0.30 in Australia). Compare how Stripe fees differ globally in our Stripe Fees by Country 2026 guide.
But this is just the start. Let’s dive deeper.
For a clearer breakdown with real-world scenarios, you can also review Stripe’s fee structure explained with examples to see how charges apply in practice.
Stripe Processing Fees: Full 2026 Breakdown by Transaction Type
Not every payment through Stripe costs the same. The fee you pay depends on how the payment is made, where the customer’s card was issued, and what currency is involved. Here is the complete breakdown of Stripe processing fees for 2026.
| Payment Type | Fee (US) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Online card payment (domestic) | 2.9% + $0.30 | Standard US rate |
| Online card payment (international card) | 3.9% + $0.30 | +1% cross-border fee added |
| In-person card payment (Stripe Terminal) | 2.7% + $0.05 | Lowest card rate available |
| ACH Direct Debit (US) | 0.8% (capped $5.00) | Best for large transactions |
| SEPA Direct Debit (EU) | 0.8% (capped €5.00) | EU bank transfers |
| BACS Direct Debit (UK) | 1% (capped £4.00) | UK bank transfers |
| American Express | ~3.5% + $0.30 | Higher interchange cost |
| Apple Pay / Google Pay | 2.9% + $0.30 | Same as standard card |
| Stripe Link (saved card) | 1.5% + $0.30 | Returning Link users only |
| Currency conversion | +1–2% | When payout currency differs |
| Chargeback / dispute fee | $15 flat | Non-refundable, win or lose |
Key point for UK and Australian businesses: Your domestic rates are significantly lower than the US rate because EU and UK regulations cap interchange fees. A UK business processing a £100 domestic payment pays £1.70 total. The same value transaction in the US costs $3.20.
Key point for Canadian businesses: Canada uses the same percentage as the US (2.9%) but Stripe rounds the fixed fee to CAD$0.30. On high volumes this adds up faster than UK or EU sellers experience.
Does Stripe Take 3%?
No — Stripe does not charge a flat 3% fee. The standard Stripe fee in the United States is 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction, which works out to slightly above 3% on smaller transactions and slightly below 3% on larger ones. The fixed $0.30 charge is what causes this variation.
| Sale Amount (US) | Stripe Fee | You Receive | Effective % |
|---|---|---|---|
| $10 | $0.59 | $9.41 | 5.9% |
| $25 | $1.03 | $23.97 | 4.1% |
| $50 | $1.75 | $48.25 | 3.5% |
| $100 | $3.20 | $96.80 | 3.2% |
| $250 | $6.55 | $243.45 | 2.6% |
| $500 | $14.80 | $485.20 | 3.0% |
| $1,000 | $29.30 | $970.70 | 2.9% |
For UK businesses the equivalent calculation uses 1.5% + £0.20. For Australian businesses it is 1.75% + AU$0.30. Use the calculator below to see your exact effective rate for any transaction amount.

Use the country-specific calculators for your exact net payout:
If you sell internationally, your effective Stripe fees can change significantly based on where your customer is located and which payment method they use. This is why international sellers should always calculate fees per transaction instead of relying on flat averages. For a deeper look at cross-border charges, currency conversion costs, and global transactions, businesses should also review how Stripe international fees apply in different regions.
How to Add a 3% Fee on Stripe (Pass Fees to Customers)
Many businesses legally pass Stripe’s processing fee to the customer rather than absorbing it themselves. There are three main methods.
Method 1: Add a surcharge line item in Stripe Checkout. In your Stripe Checkout configuration, add the processing fee as a separate line item. For example, if your product costs $100, add a line item called “Payment processing fee” at $3.20. The customer sees the breakdown clearly at checkout.
Method 2: Build the fee into your price. Increase your base price so that after Stripe takes its cut, you receive your intended amount. Use this formula:
Grossed-up price = (Your desired amount + $0.30) ÷ (1 − 0.029)
Example: You want to receive $100 net. ($100 + $0.30) ÷ 0.971 = $103.40 charge to customer. Stripe takes $3.40, you receive $100.00.
Method 3: Enable Stripe’s built-in credit card surcharging (US only). Go to Stripe Dashboard → Settings → Customer Portal → enable surcharging. This automatically adds the processing fee to credit card payments. Note: surcharging debit cards is prohibited in the US.
| Country | Surcharging Legal? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| United States | Legal (most states) | Prohibited in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Puerto Rico. Cannot surcharge debit cards. |
| United Kingdom | Illegal | Prohibited under Consumer Rights (Payment Surcharges) Regulations 2012 |
| Australia | Legal (capped) | Must not exceed your actual cost of acceptance. ACCC enforces this. |
| Canada | Legal (from 2023) | Permitted following Visa and Mastercard class action settlement |
| European Union | Illegal | Prohibited for consumer cards under PSD2 regulations |
| Singapore / UAE | Legal | No specific prohibition — standard contract law applies |
How Do Stripe Payments Appear on Bank Statements?
When a customer pays you through Stripe, the description on their bank statement depends on how you have configured your Stripe account. By default, Stripe shows your business name as set in your Stripe Dashboard under Settings → Business.
The statement descriptor typically appears in capital letters, up to 22 characters. If your business is called “Global Fee Calculator Ltd”, the customer’s bank statement shows something like GLOBALFEECALC or GLOBAL FEE CALC*PAY.
To change your statement descriptor: go to Stripe Dashboard → Settings → Account Details → edit the “Statement descriptor” field. Changes apply to future transactions only. Maximum 22 characters, no special characters except hyphens and spaces.
For your own bank statement (receiving payouts): Stripe payouts appear as STRIPE, STRIPE PAYOUT, or STRIPE PAYMENTS. The amount deposited is your net earnings after Stripe’s fees have been deducted. A full payout breakdown is available in Stripe Dashboard → Payments → Payouts.
| Country | Standard Payout Schedule | After Account Verification |
|---|---|---|
| United States | 2-day rolling (T+2) | Same day available (Instant Payouts) |
| United Kingdom | 7-day for new accounts | 2-day after verification |
| Australia | 7-day for new accounts | 2-day after verification |
| Canada | 7-day for new accounts | 2-day after verification |
| European Union | 7-day for new accounts | 2-day after verification |
| Singapore / UAE | 7-day for new accounts | 2-day after verification |
Stripe Payment Link Fees: What You Pay When Using Stripe Links
Stripe Payment Links let you accept payments without a website — share a URL and customers can pay instantly. The fees are the same as standard Stripe checkout for most transactions, with one important exception.
| Payment Method via Link | US Fee | UK Fee | AU Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard card (new customer) | 2.9% + $0.30 | 1.5% + £0.20 | 1.75% + AU$0.30 |
| Stripe Link (saved card) | 1.5% + $0.30 | Reduced rate | Reduced rate |
On a $200 sale via standard Stripe Payment Link: fee is 2.9% + $0.30 = $6.10, you receive $193.90. If the customer pays using Stripe Link with a saved card: fee drops to 1.5% + $0.30 = $3.30, you receive $196.70. That is a $2.80 saving per $200 transaction — meaningful at scale.
To create a Stripe Payment Link: go to Stripe Dashboard → Payment Links → Create Link → add your product → set the price → copy and share the URL anywhere.
What Is the Difference Between Stripe Domestic and International Fees?
Stripe fees depend heavily on where your customer’s card was issued.
Domestic Transactions
Rate: 2.9% + $0.30 per successful charge.
Best for: Businesses selling primarily within their home country (e.g., a US store serving US customers).
International Transactions
Rate: 3.9% + $0.30 per charge.
Why it’s costlier: Stripe adds a 1% “cross-border fee” for cards issued outside your business’s country.
Example: A 100 payment from a German customer to a US business costs 3.90 + 0.30 = 4.20.
How Much Does Stripe Charge for Credit Cards, Debit Cards and Digital Wallets?
Not all payment methods cost the same.
Credit & Debit Cards
Most cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) fall under the standard 2.9% + $0.30 rate.
Amex Alert: American Express charges merchants slightly higher interchange fees, which Stripe passes on. Expect ~3.5% for Amex transactions.
Digital Wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay)
Same as standard card fees (2.9% + $0.30).
Bonus: Digital wallets often have higher conversion rates, offsetting processing costs.
ACH & Bank Transfers
Fee: 0.8% per transaction (capped at $5).
Ideal for: B2B invoices or high-ticket sales (e.g., a 10,000 ACH payment costs just5).
How Do Stripe Fees Work for Subscriptions and Recurring Payments?
Businesses using Stripe for subscriptions get volume discounts—but only if they qualify.
Standard Recurring Fees
- Same as one-time payments (2.9% + $0.30).
- Added features: Stripe Billing supports prorations, metered billing, and dunning management.
Volume Discounts
- Eligibility: $100,000+ in monthly processing.
- Discounts: Custom rates (as low as 2.4% + $0.30).
- Negotiation Tip: Contact Stripe’s sales team once you hit $50k/month in revenue.

What Are Stripe's Hidden Fees That Businesses Miss?
Stripe’s transparency is a selling point, but these fees often catch users off-guard:
Chargebacks
Fee: $15 per dispute (non-refundable, even if you win).
Avoidance Tip: Use Stripe Radar (0.05−0.07 per transaction) to block fraud.
Currency Conversion
Fee: 1-2% if your payout currency differs from the transaction currency.
Example: A €100 payment to a USD account incurs a €1-€2 conversion fee.
In addition to standard transaction charges, businesses should also watch out for several hidden Stripe fees that are easy to overlook, especially when selling internationally.
What Happens to Stripe Fees When You Issue a Refund?
When you issue a refund, Stripe does not return the original processing fees you paid for the transaction. This means you lose both the percentage-based fee (e.g., 2.9%) and the fixed fee (e.g., $0.30) from the initial charge.
Example Breakdown
Let’s say you process a $100 payment:
Original Transaction:
Customer pays: $100.
Stripe fee: 2.9% + 0.302.90 + 0.30 3.20.
You receive: 1003.20 = $96.80 in your Stripe account.
You refund the full $100:
The customer gets back $100.
Your Stripe account is debited: $100.
What happens to the original $3.20 fee?
Stripe does not refund this fee. You permanently lose the $
Your net loss:
You initially received 96.80, but you must return 100 to the customer.
Shortfall: 100 (refund) − 96.80 (what you received) = $3.20.
Total loss: Original fee (3.20) + shortfall ( = $6.40.
Why This Feels Like a “Double Loss”
Loss #1: The original $3.20 fee (Stripe keeps this).
Loss #2: You have to give $3.20 extra from your pocket to the customer to return him/her $100
This is why refunds can be costly—especially for small transactions.
Key Takeaways
You don’t get fees back: Stripe retains the original 2.9% + $0.30 (or other applicable fees).
Refunding costs you money: You lose the fees and may need to add funds to cover the refund.
Small transactions hurt most
How Can You Reduce Stripe Processing Fees in 2026?
Optimizing costs isn’t just about negotiation. Try these hacks:
Use ACH for Large Transactions
- A 10,000 payment costs 80 via ACH vs. 290+0.30 via credit card.
Pass Fees to Customers
- Enable Stripe’s “Checkout” to add a 3% surcharge (where legal).
Avoid Microtransactions
- A 1 sale costs 0.329 in fees (32.9%!). Bundle small purchases (e.g., 5 items for $5).
Understanding how fees work is only half the picture. Many businesses also make avoidable pricing decisions that quietly erode margins over time. See our full guide on the most common Stripe pricing mistakes businesses make — and how to avoid them.
Once businesses understand the full cost structure, the next step is exploring whether Stripe fees can be reduced legally without changing payment platforms.

Marketplace platforms like Etsy have a different fee structure than payment processors. See our Complete Etsy Fees Guide to understand Etsy seller costs worldwide.
Example: Stripe Fees on a $100 Payment
If a customer pays $100 using a domestic card in the United States, Stripe charges:
Processing fee: $2.90
Fixed fee: $0.30
Total Stripe fee: $3.20
Merchant payout: $96.80
If the payment uses an international card, Stripe may add approximately 1.5% extra, increasing the total processing cost.
Frequently Asked Questions About Stripe Fees in 2026
What is Stripe’s processing fee?
Stripe’s processing fee is 2.9% + $0.30 per successful online card transaction in the United States. In the UK it is 1.5% + £0.20, and in Australia it is 1.75% + AU$0.30. The fee is automatically deducted before Stripe pays out to your bank account. There are no monthly fees for standard accounts.
Does Stripe take 3%?
No. Stripe’s standard US fee is 2.9% + $0.30, not a flat 3%. On a $100 transaction the effective rate is 3.2% because of the fixed $0.30 charge. On larger transactions, the effective rate falls closer to 2.9%. On small transactions under $15 the effective rate exceeds 5% due to the fixed fee making up a larger proportion.
How do I add a 3% fee on Stripe?
You can pass Stripe fees to customers by adding a surcharge line item in Stripe Checkout, building the fee into your product price using the formula (desired amount + $0.30) divided by 0.971, or by enabling Stripe’s built-in credit card surcharging in the Stripe Dashboard. In the UK and EU, surcharging customers for card payment fees is prohibited by law.
How do Stripe payments appear on bank statements?
On a customer’s bank statement, the payment typically appears as your business name in capitals as configured in Stripe Dashboard under Settings → Business → Statement Descriptor. On your own bank statement, Stripe payouts appear as STRIPE, STRIPE PAYOUT, or STRIPE PAYMENTS — the net amount after fees have been deducted.
What are Stripe Payment Link fees?
Stripe Payment Links use the same fees as standard Stripe checkout: 2.9% + $0.30 in the US, 1.5% + £0.20 in the UK, and 1.75% + AU$0.30 in Australia. If a returning customer pays using Stripe Link (saved card), the US rate drops to 1.5% + $0.30.
What is the Stripe fee for $100?
For a $100 domestic card payment in the US, Stripe charges $3.20 (2.9% + $0.30) and you receive $96.80. For a £100 payment in the UK, the fee is £1.70 and you receive £98.30. For AU$100 in Australia, the fee is AU$2.05 and you receive AU$97.95.
What is the Stripe fee for $1,000?

Is Stripe cheaper in the UK than the US?
Yes. UK businesses pay 1.5% + £0.20 per domestic transaction compared to 2.9% + $0.30 in the US. This is because UK and EU regulations cap interchange fees. On £1,000 in sales a UK business pays £15.20 in Stripe fees versus $29.30 for a US business on the same value.
Does Stripe charge VAT on its fees in the UK?
Yes. Stripe adds VAT at 20% to its fees for UK businesses. If you are VAT registered you can reclaim this as input VAT. Check your Stripe invoices in Dashboard → Billing for the VAT breakdown.
What are Stripe’s fees in Australia?
Stripe charges Australian businesses 1.75% + AU$0.30 for domestic card transactions. International cards add a further 1.5%. There are no monthly fees for standard Stripe accounts in Australia.
What are Stripe’s fees in Canada?
Stripe charges Canadian businesses 2.9% + CAD$0.30 for domestic card transactions. International cards add 1.5% extra. Credit card surcharging became legal in Canada from 2023 following a Visa and Mastercard settlement.
What are Stripe’s fees in Singapore?
Stripe charges Singapore businesses 3.4% + SGD$0.50 for domestic card transactions. International cards add a further 1.5% cross-border fee.
Do Stripe fees vary by country?
Yes. While Stripe’s core fee structure is similar globally, domestic rates, international card fees, and fixed charges vary by country. Payment methods and local regulations can also affect final costs.
Are international Stripe fees higher than domestic fees?
In most cases, yes. Stripe typically adds a cross-border fee for cards issued outside your business’s country. International transactions may also include currency conversion charges.
Does Stripe charge currency conversion fees?
Yes. If the customer pays in a different currency than your payout currency, Stripe applies a currency conversion fee, usually around 1–2 percent, depending on the currency pair.
Are Stripe fees the same for credit cards and debit cards?
Most credit and debit cards are charged at standard rates, but some card types, such as American Express, may result in higher effective fees due to higher interchange costs.
How do Stripe fees work for subscriptions?
Recurring payments are generally charged at the same rate as one-time payments. However, businesses with high monthly volumes may qualify for custom pricing by negotiating directly with Stripe.
What happens to Stripe fees when I issue a refund?
Stripe does not refund the original processing fees when you issue a refund. This means you lose the transaction fees paid on the original charge, even if the payment is fully refunded.
Are there any monthly or setup fees on Stripe?
Stripe does not charge monthly or setup fees for standard usage. Additional tools such as Stripe Billing, Radar, or custom integrations may carry extra costs.
Can Stripe fees be reduced legally?
Yes. Businesses can reduce the impact of Stripe fees by choosing cost-efficient payment methods, minimizing refunds and chargebacks, optimizing pricing, and negotiating custom rates once processing volume increases.
Is Stripe suitable for international businesses?
Yes. Stripe is widely used by international businesses because it supports multiple currencies and payment methods. However, international sellers should always calculate fees carefully, as costs can vary by country and transaction type.
Why is it important to calculate Stripe fees before pricing products?
Accurate fee calculation helps businesses avoid underpricing, protect margins, and understand true net earnings. Relying on averages instead of real calculations can lead to hidden losses over time.
What percentage does Stripe take?
Stripe typically takes 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction for online payments in the US.
Is Stripe cheaper than PayPal?
Stripe is often cheaper for developers and SaaS businesses, while PayPal may be easier for marketplaces.
Does Stripe charge international fees?
Yes. Stripe adds about 1.5% for international cards and 1% for currency conversion.
Even small percentage-based charges can compound over time, and many companies underestimate how businesses lose profit due to Stripe fees when pricing products or subscriptions.
