FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does it cost?
Just 0.99% per transaction on top of Stripe's standard fees. There are no monthly fees, no setup fees and no hidden charges — you only pay when you get paid. See the full breakdown on our pricing page.
Do I need any special equipment?
No. With Tap to Pay your iPhone or Android phone is all you need to accept contactless cards and wallets. If you'd rather use a dedicated terminal, you can pair a supported card reader — but it's completely optional.
When and how do I get paid?
Every payment goes straight into your own Stripe account. Stripe then pays out to your bank on your regular payout schedule — typically within a couple of business days, with instant payouts available in supported regions. You stay fully in control of your funds from your Stripe dashboard.
Do I need a Stripe account first?
Not necessarily. If you already have a Stripe account you can connect it instantly. If you don't, you can create one for free directly from the app during setup — it only takes a few minutes.
