We crunched the fees of Stripe's 21 products
Disclaimer: This analysis is based on Stripe’s public pricing as of July 21, 2022. Some merchants may be able to negotiate fees or benefit from grandfathered plans. Please get in touch with us if you have any questions or comments.
We asked this question to dozens of SaaS founders and none of them was able to provide a precise figure. Answers ranged from 4 to 8% of their revenue.
Why is that? As Stripe is mostly known for its payment processing platform, its fees are generally perceived as card processing fees. Simple, transparent: “Always know what you’ll pay”, as the slogan says.
However, Stripe not only offers Stripe Payments but also 20 other products. The payment processing fees may be clear, but as you often need to use a combination of these products, Stripe’s pricing quickly becomes complex.
Let’s review the different use cases featured on Stripe’s website. How many products are required? How much of your revenue will you leave to Stripe?
