Run a Test Payment

Before proceeding with sharing your checkout link, run a test purchase. This is the fastest way to ensure PassionPayments is active.

To Run a Test Purchase:

  1. Create a test client: go to People, click Add client, and use a personal email to test with.
  2. Open an incognito/private browser window and sign in as that test client.
  3. Complete a real checkout with valid payment details on one of your paid offers.

To copy your web checkout link, go to Offers → Plans, click the ⋮ menu on the offer card, and select Copy checkout link. See “Share Your PassionPayment Checkout Link” for more.

⚠️ A real payment is required. Preview or test modes do not validate live Stripe processing.

To Check Client Access:

  1. Go to People and search for the client by name or email.
  2. Open their profile and check the Offer & billing tab to view their activated plan.

For checkout, payment-related issues, or common PassionPayments issues, refer to the Troubleshooting Common PassionPayments Issues guide.

Tax Implications

  • Passion.io do not collect taxes for your purchases or sales.
  • For PassionPayments, Stripe handles the taxes. The best thing to do is check this link in your Stripe account: https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/tax.
  • For apps, Apple/Google sells them in your name and pays these taxes. They then pay out “proceeds” to your creators (after taxes and commissions).
  • For all other tax concerns, as the tax rules vary from country to country/jurisdiction, it is still best to ask and consult your tax expert.
