Integrating Event Temple & Stripe allow customers to pay Event Temple Invoices online with a credit card. When a customer makes a payment on Stripe, it goes directly to your bank account. Think of Stripe as a digital POS (Point of Sale) and credit card processing system, connected to Event Temple
There is an initial set up process which involves connecting your bank account. When you choose to use Stripe with our software, you are selecting them as a payment vendor and you do so at your own discretion, enter into a relationship with Stripe as you would with any new software vendor & ensure any key stakeholders are involved in the decision.
IMPORTANT - prior to connecting to Stripe ensure your Organization's currency is correct. Stripe will process payments in the currency you have selected within your Organization Settings.

Important Considerations About Stripe
Important Considerations About Stripe
Stripe is an independent, third party company that you connect to Event Temple. Stripe charges 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction (subject to change). This is a fee strictly between the user (you) and Stripe. Event Temple cannot impact or change these amounts. We recommend visiting www.stripe.com to learn more about their features and processing fees.
Stripe will process payments in the currency you have selected within your Organization Settings.
Event Temple links to one Stripe account only. It is not possible to have more than one Stripe account linked to an Event Temple subscription.
If you are part of a multi-organization chain, each organization will need to be linked to a separate Stripe Account.
Stripe is modern, easy to use, secure and the global standard in payment processing for software companies and that is the core reason we have chosen to integrate with them for payments at Event Temple however please note that Stripe is only available in some regions of the world.
Stripe can be connected to third party accounting programs and other applications that are separate from Event Temple
If you are attempting payment on a new Stripe account & come across the 'spinning' icon, this is generally due to your Stripe Account not being enabled for Payments. Please contact Stripe & ensure your Account is enabled.
