Stripe is our preferred method of taking credit card payments online because of the lower fees, more streamlined user experience and automatic transfers sent straight to your nominated bank account.

Stripe fees vary from country to country. But for those based in Australia, Stripe fees are 1.75% + $0.30 per transaction compared to PayPal which is 2.4% + $0.30 per transaction. The rate for other international cards is 2.9% + $0.30 USD for including American Express cards.

To integrate Studio Ninja to your Stripe account please follow the steps below:

Step 1: Go to www.stripe.com.

Step 2: Sign Up for a new account. 

Step 3: Activate your account.

Step 4: Go to Account Settings > Developers > API Keys.

Step 5: Copy & paste the LIVE Secret Key and Publishable Key into the Studio Ninja settings. 

Note: The Secret Key is sometimes cut short. Please make sure to expand it to copy the correct token.

Fantastic, you have now integrated your Studio Ninja account to Stripe and your clients can now pay your invoices via credit card. A new 'Pay by Credit Card' button will appear on all your invoices in the client portal.
