Fees and payment options when using Stripe Connect

Fees

By proceeding with this option you will be charged a reduced processing fee from TryBooking, however, you will also be subjected to Stripe's processing fee. 

Whilst you will be able to pass-on TryBooking's processing fee directly to your customers, you will not be able to do so for Stripe's Processing fee. Stripe's processing fee will be charged to you directly from your Stripe Connect account.

Payment Options
