      1. Benefits

      • You get your payment directly on your bank account connected to Stripe.

      • Save on the 30% app sales commission (vs. Apple/Google store sales)

      • You can link your PassionPayments Web Checkout URL to your external sites.

       

       

      2. Supported payment methods and Countries

      •  Credit Card

      •  Debit Card

      PassionPayments only accepts credit and debit cards, but you can also use other payment methods, like PayPal Link or external checkouts, for your client's convenience.

       

      Stripe doesn’t support application fees for platforms with connected accounts in Brazil, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, and Thailand. The payment will be declined if you try to receive payments from a client in any of those countries.

      5. Test Purchase

      After connecting your Stripe account, make a TEST PURCHASE to confirm the integration and product access. Set your plan's price at $5 for testing.

      When making a test purchase, log out of your web app and use an email address other than your Passion. io-connected email address to avoid an error.

       

       

      6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

      • I need help with my checkout page and receiving payments. What do I do?

      Have you done a Test Purchase? If you're having issues taking payments, please look at this article: How to troubleshoot common PassionPayment issues to guide you.

       

      • How do I know if my clients have access?

      You can check all your registered clients via your PassionMetrics page on your Passion.io account.

       

      • Can I set up installment payments through the app?

      For now, you can't set it up directly on Passion.io. You can, however, set it up on Stripe. We recommend watching this external resource for more details: How to Use Stripe for Recurring Payments & Payment Plans (Tutorial) - Kamila Gornia

       

      • Does Passion.io collect taxes?

      We 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 in your name and pays these taxes. They pay out “proceeds” to you creators (after taxes + 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.

       

      • I need help connecting Passion.io with my Stripe account.

      You might have to disconnect any account that was previously connected with Passion.io or, if possible, create a new Stripe account (multiple active accounts).
