Stipe.com For Cleaning Companies

Why does Karens Green Cleaning Use Stripe.com As It’s Credit Card Processing Merchant

First, we will explain what Stipe is. Stripe is a credit card processing merchant similar to PayPal, the difference is, that it allows you to take your clients credit card information directly on your site when filing out there information, they stay on your site, and are not redirection to some different website and ait is also “Free” meaning that there is no monthly fee if you are not making any sells that month, but there is a cost for every transaction, that being you pay 2.9% + 30 cents for every payment that is being processed through Stripe. 

Now for the reasons that we like strip, we like it because it a new way of processing your payments and it easier to set up compared to the older ways of thinking credit card information. Before you would have to use a payment processor that would be usually affiliated with a bigger bank, you would need to fill out a form that would take a couple of days or sometimes even weeks to get approved plus a $25 minimum that you would be required to cover every month and after this, they would ask you to sing a contact for up to 2 years or even more and if you were to break the contract you would get finde by them and after establishing your payment processor you would still need a payment gateway, the gateway in earlier years was a separate service that you needed to get for your company, meaning that you would need to pay for two different services even if you are not making any sales that month. For a better understanding, the gateway was the machine you would use to make the payment, and the processing merchant was the software or program that processed the payment.

Strip gets rid of all of that and says goodbye to contacts, monthly fees, and the registration process is very simple and it only take a day to be verified if even that, and without the contract, you are not bound to anything cancellation fees if your business does not work out, the only thing that it is not, is user-friendly, you do need to have some experience in web development or be tech-savvy for you to use tripe as your credit card processing merchant, you also need an eCommerce platform that can work with stripe, in our case we use Launch27. This platform or software that we use has a plugin that allows us to use Stripe as our credit card processing merchant, and lastly, you need a bank account to deposit all your payments into aside from this 2 thing, setting up your stripe.com account is much easier than it was in the past.

Having sed this Stripe is a very useful software that has helped us grow our company and clients seem to like the ease of use when filling out their information and not having to get redirected to a different site. Stripe is also used by big companies like lift, door dash and even Target to name a few, so you now that it’s not just used by small companies, but big ones use it as well so be assured that you can trust Stripe as your credit card processing merchant for your business.
