What is Stripe?
Stripe is an online payment processor that is similar to PayPal except with lower fees (1.5% + 20p per transaction). They have a great user interface, state of the art security and first-class customer support.
The chances are you've already used Stripe without knowing it as they are the payment processor of choice for big brands like Deliveroo, Asos and Squarespace.
We connect payments directly to your Stripe account because not only does it mean you can access your payments as soon as they're available (within 3-5 days), it gives you additional tools to view all of your payment history, create invoices and to connect your sales information up to accounting packages like Xero - saving precious admin time.
We know that every little bit makes a difference when you're running a small independent business. By doing the best we can for your business, it's the best we can do for ours too. 🙂
