What Fees Does Stripe Charge?
By default, Stripe charges the standard merchant processing fee for each payment. This typically includes:
Stripe's fees for Card transactions in the US are only 2.9% + $0.30 processing fees per charge, which Stripe calls the 'Transaction Fee'.
A $0.25 transfer fee per payout to your bank

Will I Pay Any Fees If I Am Able to Pass the Fees on to the Client?
If you're eligible and choose to pass Stripe processing fees on to your clients, then:
You will not pay the percentage-based processing fee—your client covers it.
You will still pay the $0.25 transfer fee per transfer to your bank.
That means the only fee you pay is the $0.25 transfer fee.

When will Stripe charge an "International Fee"?
Stripe will charge an additional 2% "International Fee" if the card used for payment is in a different currency than your bank.
For example:
A client pays my CAD bank account with a CAD credit card, no "International Fee" will be charged by Stripe.
A client pays my USD bank account with a CAD credit card, Stripe will add their 2% "International Fee".
