How do I charge the customer the Stripe fee?

Is Stripe cheaper than PayPal?

For standard domestic card payments Stripe (2.9% + $0.30) and PayPal (3.49% + $0.49 for goods) are close, with Stripe usually cheaper. Compare both with our PayPal Fee Calculator.

Does Stripe refund its fee on refunds?

No. Since 2019 Stripe keeps the processing fee on refunded payments, so a high refund rate is a real cost — build a buffer into your price.

What are Stripe Terminal (in-person) fees?

Card-present payments through Stripe Terminal are cheaper — around 2.7% + $0.05 in the US — because card-present transactions carry lower fraud risk.
