The Stripe fee for credit card transactions is incurred by the company receiving the funds.
To Receive credit card payments via Viewpost:
*If you enable credit card payments it will look like the preferred method of payment to the person receiving your invoice. On the invoice it will clearly allow them to enter their credit card number, where as paying with a bank account will require them to register for Viewpost.
For best results, do these steps before sending an invoice to a customer.
- Select your Company Name from the upper right hand corner
- Select Payment Methods
- Select 'Enroll' next to Accept Credit Card Payments
- Fill out the Stripe Registration form (If you already have a Stripe account you may just sign in)
You are now enabled to accept credit card payments.
One last step:
