Understanding Stripe Fee Structures in 2026
Stripe operates primarily on a transparent pay-as-you-go pricing model. In the US, online credit card transactions are billed at 2.9% + $0.30 per successful charge. However, international cards incur an extra 1.5% fee, and another 1.0% if currency conversion is required.
Unlike traditional merchant accounts, Stripe charges zero monthly setup or maintenance fees, making it the industry standard for SaaS, digital downloads, and custom e-commerce stores.
