[@Martin-xf8be]

Thanks for the vid. Is there any way to add more products while on the confirmation page? I would like to have the option to include another product but I dont want to include it initially.

[@StewartGauld]

No problem Martin, This is a form of up-selling. You cannot through Stripe. However, you can look into a tool like systeme to help you. We have a few tutorials on this.

[@annecy5487]

Great video! I am using the billing feature (invoicing/subscriptions) but I want to avoid the invoice fee (0.4%) because I already have an invoice generated by a separate system. Is this something that can be accomplished? Thanks for your help!

[@StewartGauld]

Thanks Serge. Yes you can integrate your existing tool into Stripe for this.

[@josegonzalez238]

Great video! I have a website landing page for a short term rental where customers can ask for a quote. If I use Stripe, can I send them the quote (link?) and have them pay on it if they decide to book my short term rental? On your video, I believe you showed this, but just making sure I can do so without actually integrating Stripe to any platform or website. Thanks!

[@StewartGauld]

Thanks! Yes you sure can. Just create the product (service package) add it to your landing page that you can create with Stripe.

[@positivepsych1]

Your videos are so informative! Ty! Question - After watching is there a way once a customer pays for the product (course) via Stripe for customer to receive that product automatically?

[@StewartGauld]

Welcome! See last comment.

[@AdamBree]

Great tutorial.. quick question 🙋‍♂️: if I have multiple online different businesses such as one business sells ebook and one business sells a physical item through Dropshipping or tshirt, those businesses are different names and different business models, can you setup a different account for each business or they all have to be under one business name? will the customer see my ebook business when they purchase from tshirt business? How can we separate each business, do we need a new account for each business?

[@StewartGauld]

Hey Adam, Under your main account you will notice that you can connect other accounts in the top left hand corner like I share at the beginning of this video.

[@jennyshealingyoga]

Great tutorial! Would you recommend Stripe over Paypal for automated payments?

[@StewartGauld]

Yes I personally would for business.

[@user-up4ge5wc5z]

Hi. PRO-LEVEL TUTORIAL, thanx. Quick question - I have 2 bank accounts that I'd like to use to accept payments. Do I have to make a new stripe registration for each one?

[@StewartGauld]

Thanks. Only if its a different entity.

[@Towelmaker123]

Do you have a tutorial for installing ruby for embed form of script please ? What are the limitations or do you suggest addinglinks to each product page ? and use QR code to make it look great .

[@StewartGauld]

Hey! Not quite sure what you mean sorry.

[@voninganingobeni2428]

for recurring payments,does stripe deduct money from the customers account on the day of the subscription.

[@StewartGauld]

Hey mate, Yes that is correct.

[@aleenashairulla8500]

[@kleehud3769]

My pages look different from what you show. Do you have a 2024 basic tutorial? Thank you.

[@StewartGauld]

It has been updated. However, this tutorial is still relevant.

[@HealingLightSoyCandles]

Do you need to add individual products if you have your products already listed on a third party website that I linked Stripe to? I am hoping the products on the linked third party website will automatically fill in on Stripe per order

[@StewartGauld]

Hey mate, Depends how you have set up and integrated Stripe.

[@ArmyWife61810]

I received an application fee on top of the 2.9+.30c do you know what that is? I've been looking for a reason but haven't found it. I noticed it's not flat rate it's also a percent because it was different amount on separate transactions. When I invoiced, there was no application fee just the standard one.

[@StewartGauld]

Hey Noemi, I will have too look into this.

[@sfq28]

Great tutorial. Just one question, is there an expiry date on the payment links we send out? for example, if I ask a customer to subscribe to my software for $50 per month, and then decide to offer him a discount a week later so he only pays $45 per month, how do I retract the $50 payment link?

[@StewartGauld]

Hey! Good question, I'll have to look into this.

[@user-dj8wr1gq6v]

Hi, I am watching the video for several times. Can you please tell me how I can add stripe account in my medium?

[@StewartGauld]

Do you receive the payment right away in your account as soon as the client gets charged ?

[@StewartGauld]

Hey, In your stripe yes, but it can take some time to be paid out.

[@StewartGauld]

You cannot do this with Stripe.

Who can we contact if we need more assistance? I cannot find "contact support" on the Stripe dashboard.

[@StewartGauld]

Hey! What support are you after? You can get in touch with their chat support.

My Stripe account is requesting a website & I use Calendly to set up appointments. Are there any inexpensive website I can use for my business?

You shouldn't need a website. If you do, you can create a free one with Google Sites. We have a tutorial on this.

Hello my friend, I have a problem paying via Apple Pay. Can you help me? When paying via Apple Pay, it asks me to update the shipping address. What is the reason?

I need some help here... I am under the age of 18, so apparently since my birthday age is too young it won't let me continue and payouts are paused. I looked it up and it says I can still receive payments as long as a legal guardian signs off on it. I can't find a place anywhere to do that in Stripe. Can you help me out?

[@StewartGauld]

Same response as my previous commnets.

I've used stripe and they froze my account because they said my business website needed updated. I still haven't got all my money from them. Today they randomly charged my bank account $1400. I didn't even do that much business with them. Beware do not use them

Hey Rob, This is very weird. Did you get in contact with them. Did you have an outstanding payments?

[@robsweeney7028]

@@StewartGauld They won't respond back to my email and they have no phone number. I only did a few hundred dollars worth of business with them and they refused to payout $130 dollars I had because they said my website was out of date. I told them i'd just refund $65 each to my two customers and then close the account. One customer received a refund and the other one didn't, so they kept the other $65 and was no longer able to get access to my account. A couple of months went by and they hit me with a $1410.20 charge and they still won't respond to my emails.
