Common questions: Stripe (United States)

How much does Stripe take from $100 in United States?

On a domestic $100 USD transaction, Stripe deducts $3.20 (2.9% + $0.30), leaving $96.80 net payout. If the buyer uses an international card requiring currency conversion, total deductions reach $5.70 (5.7%).

How much should I invoice to receive $100 after Stripe fees?

To net an exact $100.00 after domestic Stripe processing fees, charge $103.30. On cross-border FX transactions, charge $106.03.

Does Stripe handle VAT, GST, and US sales tax automatically?

No. Stripe is a payment processor, not a Merchant of Record. You remain responsible for tax registration and remittance (automated tax calculation add-ons typically cost an extra 0.5% per transaction).

Why are Stripe effective fees higher on $10 micro-orders?

Because the fixed $0.30 per-charge fee applies regardless of cart size. On a $10 order, Stripe takes $0.59, resulting in a 5.9% effective deduction.
