Frequently asked questions
What is the Stripe fee for CA card payments?
Stripe charges 2.9% of the transaction amount plus a fixed C$0.3 per successful CA domestic card charge. This standard rate is what most online stores pay.
How much does Stripe charge per transaction in CA?
For CA-issued cards, Stripe takes 2.9% plus a fixed C$0.3. On a $100 sale, for example, you keep about $96.80 after the Stripe fee.
Does Stripe charge a monthly fee or setup fee in CA?
No. Stripe has no monthly fee, no setup fee, and no minimum — you only pay the per-transaction rate shown here. This makes it cost-effective for small and new businesses in CA.
What is Stripe's international (cross-border) card fee in CA?
Cards issued outside CA add a cross-border surcharge on top of the domestic rate shown here — for Stripe this is typically around 1.5%–2%. If you sell to international customers, factor this in.
Does Stripe refund its fee when I issue a refund in CA?
No. When you refund a payment, Stripe does not return the original processing fee — you lose both the refund and the original transaction fee. This is an important consideration for CA businesses with high return rates.
Are there additional Stripe fees for chargebacks in CA?
Yes. If a customer disputes a charge, Stripe charges a dispute fee (typically around $15) on top of the original processing fee, regardless of the outcome. This is separate from the standard rate shown here.
Why might my actual Stripe rate differ from this CA calculator?
Your effective rate can vary with a custom negotiated plan, currency conversion, international cards, or special transaction types. This calculator reflects Stripe's standard published CA rate.
Is this Stripe CA calculator run by Stripe?
No. This is an independent tool from Fee Calculator Hub. We reference Stripe's official CA pricing, linked below, so you can confirm the current rate yourself.
