Supported payment methods and Countries

PassionPayments currently supports credit and debit card payments. You can also provide alternative options like PayPal links or external checkout methods to give your clients added flexibility. 

Due to regulatory and compliance requirements in these regions, Stripe doesn’t support application fees for platforms with connected accounts in Brazil, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, and Thailand.

If you attempt to receive payments from a client in any of these countries using application fees, the payment will be declined.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    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 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.

    I need help connecting Passion.io with my Stripe account

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

    Can I offer pricing plans with a free trial period through PassionPayments?

    Yes! As you are creating a new pricing plan, choose the option Include Free Trial and choose between 3, 7, 14, or 30 days. 

    If I use PassionPayments, will clients need to enter their card details every time, or are they saved like in Apple/Google in-app purchases?

    Your clients card information is saved using stripes "Link" feature.
