How it works

Stripe's standard integrated pricing for US card charges:

Fee = 2.9% × charge + $0.30
You receive = charge − fee
Reverse: charge = (target + $0.30) ÷ (1 − 0.029)

There is no fee for failed charges, and the $0.30 fixed part means low-ticket charges carry a higher effective rate — a $2.00 charge loses 17.9% to fees, a $200 charge loses 3.05%.
