Payments · Stripe
Card payments, straight to your bank.
Your site takes cards through Stripe. Every payment lands in your own Stripe account, and Stripe pays it out to your bank on the schedule you pick.
Sample data.
Connect in a few minutes.
- 01
In your admin, open Manage Site, then Billing, and click Connect Stripe.
- 02
Sign in to Stripe, or create a Stripe account in the same steps. Stripe asks for your business and bank details.
- 03
We check the connection. Then your site is ready to take cards.
Your Stripe account stays yours. You log in to the full Stripe Dashboard to see your payments, payouts and disputes. Connecting gives your site access to your Stripe account. Your site uses it to charge cards, save them for next time and refund orders.
If you ever leave Eat Fresh Tech, your Stripe account and its payment history stay with you.
Where the money goes.
Each payment goes to your Stripe account. Two fees come out of it on their own: Stripe's processing fee, and our usage fee.
The rest is yours. That includes the delivery fees, order fees and tips you set, and the sales tax you collect. The Monthly Sales & Tax report lists each fee for your accountant.
Stripe's rates are on Stripe's pricing page. Our plans and usage fees are on our pricing page.
Payouts on your schedule.
Stripe pays out to your bank every business day, every week or every month. You can also pick days, like every Monday and Thursday. Set it in your Stripe Dashboard, and change it any time.
Need it today? Once your account is eligible, Instant Payouts send money to a supported debit card or bank account, usually within 30 minutes. That works on weekends and holidays too. Stripe charges a fee for each Instant Payout (details ↗).
Your first payout usually comes 7 to 14 days after your first live payment. Stripe sets that by your industry, country and risk level.
Safe for you and your customers.
- Card numbers never touch your site.The card form sends card details straight to Stripe. Your site keeps the card type, the last four digits, the expiry date and Stripe's reference to the card. That is enough for a customer to see which card they use.
- Certified to the top level.Stripe is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1, the most stringent level in the payments industry. Card numbers are encrypted at rest with AES-256.
- Fraud screening from Stripe Radar.Stripe Radar uses AI to screen card payments for fraud and card testing. Radar Lite comes at no extra charge with Stripe's standard pricing. Radar plans with custom rules are in your Stripe Dashboard.
- The bank's second check.Some banks ask the cardholder to approve a payment (3D Secure). At checkout, the prompt pops up on the order page, and nothing is charged until the customer approves it. Renewals charge while the customer is away. If the bank asks then, the customer gets an email that says what to do. The order waits on your Pending Orders page.
- Disputes in your Stripe Dashboard.When a customer disputes a charge with their bank, Stripe takes the amount and a dispute fee from your Stripe balance. Stripe guides you through your answer in your Stripe Dashboard, with the evidence for your case.
- Saved cards, one tap.Customers who use Link by Stripe fill in a saved card with one tap. A card saved on your site pays for recurring subscriptions on its own. Repeat orders check out faster too.
