Frequently asked questions
Short answers to what customers ask most.
Is there a fee for Stripe Connect?
Yes. SelfGrow deducts a platform fee from each Stripe Connect payment, and the rate depends on your plan. It is listed on the pricing page and shown again before activation. Stripe’s own fee applies as well.
What if Stripe Connect is not available in my country?
Check that your business country is set correctly. If Stripe does not support it, use another provider, such as Montonio, EveryPay or MakeCommerce.
Can I turn Stripe Connect off?
Yes. You can stop accepting new payments at any time. Your Stripe account is not deleted, and you can turn it back on.
