If you use Subscription, yes: https://stripe.com/docs/recurring-payments#installment-plans
^If not, and they're paying the invoice, do they get an option to select how much they want to pay, or is it the full amount immediately?
Normally yes it will be the full amount
^But they can choose? I'm thinking let's say someone's hit an account limit
And they can do like half now and half tomorrow
Is that an option? If not, I can always split the invoice (not doing subscriptions)
Question 2: I read about charging customers a processing fee, but the place it says isn't there (unless I'm blind, which I probably am):
Settings > Payment Services in
https://support.stripe.com/questions/charges-and-payments-with-xero-and-stripe#:~:text=If you have chosen to,customer a processing fee option.
Find help and support for Stripe. Our support center provides answers on all types of situations, including account information, charges and refunds, and subscriptions information. Get your questions answered and find international support for Stripe.
I am indeed blind lol
Does stripe have something similar?
I swear I've read it previously
Let's slow down and address your issues one by one
So you would like to know about pushing the processing fee to your Customer? Or installment?
(Also, if you need a hand answering questions, let me know. Looks like you're the only one online atm)
Both, but I think you answered the first question, no? That normally they have to pay the full amount and it's not an option with invoices (only subscriptions)
It's okie!
Yeah there is not an option to split the amount in a non-subscription Invoice
You would probably want to just split into 2 Invoice
^Yeah so worst case, I'll split an invoice into two and that should do it
Exactly!!
Then the next question re. passing customer the charges
(Then I have a third one too lol)
Yeah that will requires some calculation on your end. ie. You want to charge $100, Stripe fee takes you 2.9$. You want to charge around $103 instead
So that after the calculation, you still have $100 on your side
^Right, so just increase the price accordingly. Seems like what UberEats does too
Yeah. Just figure it out the calculation for Stripe fee. It depends on your Stripe account country AFAIK
^Though they upcharge a lot to make the margins LOL
I'm in Canada, but yeah I see what you mean
Great, so Q2 is done. Want to check other people first, and I'll ask Q3 then?
Thanks (though I'd completely get needing to attend to others, but it looks like it's died down a bit atm)!
So Q3:
I'm fairly concerned about the terms of service and how I can get that across to Stripe
^Because the avg. transaction is between $1500-$3000 and a charge back would be quite a bit of a blow
But to be fair, before an incoming client signs up, we (1) actually tell them everything on the agreement, and (2) Make them actually read the whole shit and quiz them on it lol. If they fail, we don't accept them
^But how do I convey that to Stripe in case that one client shows up
^Oh and it's a non-refundable "service" too btw, which is where the friction may come from
Sorry don't fully follow. So you worry if one of your customer request refund, and unsure how to generate a Refund with Stripe?
^Not quite. So, contractually, it's a non-refundable service and we put quite a bit of time to kind of on-board them before signing up, and jump through quite a few hoops.
^I'm thinking of charge backs
So if someone goes to their bank and does a charge-back, then I have to provide Stripe with the appropriate documentation -- except I'm not sure how I can do that properly (apart from showing the contract that says it's non-refundable)
^On my platform, I mean technically, pre-signup there's a part where they read the contract, and we make them take a quiz (success for which allows the purchase), but again, I'm unsure how I can show Stripe that if documentation re. the transaction is asked
I see what you mean. But ChargeBack can still happen if the Customer requests their bank they didn't do it. When it happens the bank request Stripe and Stripe will presents it to you to provide evidence to appeal
That's how payment industry works and unfortunately there is no non-refundable transaction fundamentally
^Yeah that's fair (and necessary), and I think I'm referring to the second step you mentioned (re. the appeal). Though I def. get that that's not a dev. question so may not apply here.
Yep! Read through all of that haha
I see
This is the guideline for responding and evidences etc
^Perf. thanks! I missed that. I'll check that out
Refund policy details seems closest to what you mean
Exactly, yes!
