      Setting up Your Stripe Integration

      Connect your Power Diary account to Stripe to process credit card payments seamlessly.

      Before you can begin using our integration with Stripe to process credit card payments through Power Diary you will need to connect Power Diary to a Stripe account. Stripe accounts are free to set up (you are only billed on a per-transaction basis) so it's worth doing, even if just as a backup payment method. If you don't already have a Stripe account you'll be able to quickly create one as part of the integration process.

      Pricing/Fees

      When you connect your Stripe account to Power Diary and process each payment, you will be charged:
      • A Power Diary Connect Fee.
      • A Stripe Credit Card Processing Fee.

      Your fees will vary slightly depending on where you're from - and all of these fees are visible from your Stripe dashboard.
