Setting Up Card Payments with Stripe in Zenamu

Updated yesterday

Let your clients pay conveniently and quickly using credit or debit cards. Zenamu offers a free integration with the Stripe payment gateway that you can set up in just a few minutes.

About Stripe Payment Gateway

Stripe is one of the most popular payment solutions and lets you accept credit and debit card payments. Unlike the complex approval processes with other providers, setting up a Stripe account is quick and easy -- just sign up.

Pricing

Connecting Zenamu to Stripe is free -- you only pay Stripe's transaction fees.

  • Transaction Fees: A percentage-based fee per transaction (rates differ for European vs. non-European cards) plus a fixed fee per transaction.

  • Account Management: Registering and managing your Stripe account is free.

  • Funds Transfer: Transferring sales proceeds to your bank account is free for local currency and for EUR within European countries.

For the most current pricing details, visit Stripe's pricing page.

A note on platform fees

If you're on a Free, Lite, or Professional plan, Zenamu adds a small platform fee on top of Stripe's charges. Upgraded to Expert or Ultimate? Then you won't pay any Zenamu fees on Stripe transactions.
