Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why is PassionPayments the best option?

PassionPayments offers the perfect balance of simplicity and profit. While external checkout might have slightly lower fees, it requires significant technical setup. In-app purchases are convenient but take up to 30% of your revenue. PassionPayments keeps your technical overhead low while maximizing your profits.

Does Passion take commission fees on all payment options?

No! We only charge the small 3.9%-1.9% fee on PassionPayments because we're providing a seamless, integrated solution that saves you time and technical hassle. This fee is significantly lower than the 15-30% that app stores charge for in-app purchases.

How do I get paid?

Getting paid is easiest with PassionPayments:

• PassionPayments: Funds go directly to your Stripe account and then to your bank account within 2-7 business days. No complicated setup required! Learn more about Stripe payouts.
• iOS & Android in-app purchases: Payments are subject to Apple/Google's payout schedules, which can take 15-45 days. Apple payout details | Google payout details.
• External checkout: Varies by platform and requires you to manage multiple systems.

Do my clients receive a receipt?

Yes! With PassionPayments, receipt management is simple. Just enable it in My App > Settings under Customer Receipts

If my clients stop paying, will their subscriptions be canceled automatically?

PassionPayments handles this for you automatically:

• PassionPayments (Recommended): The smart retry system attempts to recover failed payments multiple times before canceling a subscription. This maximizes your revenue by recovering payments that might otherwise be lost. You can customize the retry schedule in your Stripe settings. Learn more about retry settings.
  
  

Other payment methods handle failed payments less effectively:

• In-app purchases: Apple/Google have limited retry capabilities and less transparency. If payment fails, the clients will receive a few emails asking them to update their payment details. The subscription gets canceled automatically after a few days (Apple doesn’t state how many). Check this article to learn more.
  
  
• External Checkout: Requires complex Zapier automation to handle subscription cancellations:
  
  

Can my clients subscribe using the Passion.io App?

Users need to subscribe or purchase courses using your own Passion App (ideally through PassionPayments for the best experience).
