    Installment Plans and Tax Implications

    Installment Plans

    Currently, Passion.io doesn’t support installment plans directly. The good news is, you can still offer installment plans by setting them up in Stripe. To learn how, here’s a helpful external resource:

    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.
