How much does Stripe take from payments

Stripe typically charges 2.9% plus $0.30 per successful card transaction for domestic U.S. payments, though rates vary by country and payment method. For international cards, additional fees of 1% to 2% often apply, and currency conversion adds another 1%. These charges can add up quickly for cross-border transactions, especially for freelancers and exporters receiving payments from overseas clients.

Indian freelancers and businesses often find better value with platforms designed for cross-border payments. Skydo, an RBI-authorised platform, offers transparent pricing and typically faster processing for international payments into India.
