*NOTE* Please read carefully below:

PlanitEasy has partnered with Stripe using their StripeConnect product to process payments on your behalf. When you set up a Stripe account (or connect your own), you will have your own account and direct relationship with Stripe. Payments are not processed through PlanitEasy and PlanitEasy does not get involved with any payment processing issues. This has to be done directly with Stripe including updating your bank account information.

A. Fees: 3.4% + $0.30 cents per transaction (Stripe charges 2.9% + $0.30 cents per transaction + 0.5% application fee from PIE)

B. Processing time: 2 business days

C. Funds are deposited directly into your checking account.

Important: The first payout for every new Stripe account is typically paid out 7 to 14 days after the first successful payment is received. This waiting period can be up to 14 days for businesses in certain industries, and up to 30 days in countries such as Brazil. This delay allows Stripe to mitigate some of the risks inherent in providing credit services. Read More at Payouts.

*TIP* If you are ready to upgrade to Stripe Connect, we suggest that you do a small $2 or $5 transaction so that you can get the 'first transaction waiting period" out of the way so that you can accept all following transactions quickly.
