Stripe fees in Canada

Online card payments2.9% + CA$0.30
International cards+0.8%
Currency conversion+2%

How it is calculated

Fee = amount × (rate + any international surcharge) + CA$0.30.

You receive = amount − fee.

To receive an exact amount, ask for (amount + fixed fee) ÷ (1 − rate). Adding the percentage on top is not enough, because the fee is charged on the larger figure too.

Questions

How much does Stripe charge in Canada?

Online card payment: 2.9% + CA$0.30 per payment for domestic payers, with a surcharge for international ones.

Who pays the fee?

The seller. You can build it into your prices, but adding a separate surcharge for paying by card or PayPal is restricted in the UK and EU and in some US states.

Is currency conversion included?

No. Converting a payment into another currency carries its own charge on top of the rates above.

If you run WooCommerce

WooFinance subtracts the real payment fee from every WooCommerce order, so profit reports are not overstated by what the gateway kept. WooFinance is our plugin; the calculator above works the same whether you use it or not.
