Current assumptions

  • International and micropayment pricing is included only when named in the selected profile.
  • Conversion, dispute and instant-payout costs are included only when entered in their dedicated fields.
Why this may differ from a platform statement

Check the selected seller profile and category, account-specific or experimental pricing, tax on fees, currency conversion, shipping labels, promotions, refunds and the platform’s per-line rounding. FeeTrail shows user overrides in the warnings above.

Common questions

Assumptions that change the answer

Is Stripe a marketplace in this comparison?

No. It is a direct payment processor; audience acquisition, storefront and marketplace fees are outside this result.

Is currency conversion included?

Choose a conversion-required profile to include Stripe’s published 1% addition. Do not also enter that same conversion cost as an exact adjustment.

Are manual entry and ACH supported?

Yes. Manual card profiles include the 0.5 percentage-point addition, and ACH Direct Debit applies the published 0.8% fee capped at $5.

What about custom pricing?

Enterprises may have negotiated pricing. These schedules use Stripe’s published standard pricing.
