The short answer

In the US, Stripe's standard pricing is 2.9% + 30¢ per successful transaction for domestic cards. On a $10 sale that's 59¢, so you keep $9.41. International cards add 1.5%, and currency conversion adds 1%. The fixed 30¢ hurts most on small prices: on a $1 sale, the fee is about a third.

What to do

  1. Check Stripe's pricing page for your own country. Rates differ by country.
  2. Set your price with the fee in mind. The smaller the price, the bigger the share the fixed 30¢ takes.

Good to know

  • The $10 and $1 sums are examples, computed from Stripe's US standard rate.
