Looking for Direct Debit payment options? Check out our GoCardLess integration instead

Stripe allows you to collect online payments via Debit Card, Credit Card, Apple Pay and Google Pay

Stripe adds a 'Pay Now' button to your invoices and your customers can then select how they want to pay you. With Stripe you can accept payments via Visa, Mastercard, American Express and China UnionPay payments from customers worldwide.

Take a look at this short video which shows the customer experience using Apple Pay:

Why choose Stripe?

It is completely free to set up & quick to get started
Just head over to their website and create a Stripe account. Within a few minutes you can start taking payments which get deposited straight into your bank account.

It boasts the highest level of certification available in the payments industry
Stripe is certified to the highest industry standards and has obtained regulatory licences around the world including PCI Service Provider Level 1. Why should you care? It means Stripe is trusted and familiar to your customers.

Make it easier than ever for your customers to pay you
Customers are increasingly looking for convenience and ease of use when it comes to making payments. Stripe makes it quick & easy to process payments instantly.

Give your customers more options
Some customers may not like the idea of setting up a Direct Debit payment but have no concerns about using a credit card. Moreover, it allows them to pay 'on credit' and settle the charge later in the month. You on the other hand receive your money within just a few days.

How much will it cost?

There are no ongoing fees, you only pay the applicable transaction fee when someone pays you via Stripe.

The total cost consists of the membermeister app fee at 1.4% per transaction plus the applicable Stripe transaction fee.

Transaction fees are automatically deducted as the payment goes through Stripe and the remainder is paid out to your designated bank account. You don't have to keep a record or save up the fees, it's all done for you!

How do I get started?

Head over to the Stripe website to set up an account.

Once you have a verified Stripe account, please send an email to our Customer support team who will arrange a short call to enable Stripe within your membermeister account. Alternatively you can connect it yourself via the Account Settings page.

Team membermeister :)
