Important Details:
Dynamic Payment Display: Stripe dynamically shows the payment methods most likely to convert based on the customer’s location and device.
Unsupported Methods: Only the above methods are supported with Stripe Billing. Attempting to activate unsupported methods will not make them functional.
Enabling/Disabling Payment Methods: Manage payment methods in your Stripe dashboard under Payment Methods.
Domain Verification for Apple Pay: Stripe requires domain verification for Apple Pay, handled when you connect your Stripe account.
Note: Apple Pay will not appear as a payment method on any subscription that is also using our Subscription Upsell feature. This is due to limitations with Apple Pay.
NOTE: Users paying with SEPA will not have access until their bank approves the transaction. This can sometimes take a few days.
SEPA is turned off by default for new stores, so if you want to use it you can turn it on from your payment methods section in Stripe.
Optimized Payment Tools
Expired credit cards, declined transactions and bank errors can account for 25% of all churn that subscription businesses experience.
With Stripe Billing, you’ll reduce involuntary churn significantly with Smart Retries, automated failed payment emails, and automatic card account update technology.
Automated Tax Collection
If you’re not collecting sales tax at checkout, you’re paying it out-of-pocket, which is expensive and risky for you and your business.
With Stripe Tax, accurate sales tax, VAT or GST amounts will be automatically calculated and collected at checkout, making compliance with country or state laws easier and saving you money.
Some Uscreen customers have already saved thousands with Stripe Tax! You can get started here.
When you enable Stripe Tax, you will be able to collect tax for both Stripe and PayPal transactions. As of today, there is a 0.5% fee per Stripe transaction where you're registered to collect tax. There is a $0.50 fee per PayPal transaction where you're registered to collect tax. To learn more about the most updated fee structure for Stripe Tax, click here.
NOTE: For any questions about how your business collects tax you'll want to refer to a tax professional. If you have any questions regarding the setup and configuration of taxes, please reach out to Stripe support directly.
Additional Benefits:
Stripe Subscriptions
When creating a subscription plan in Uscreen, a corresponding subscription product is generated in Stripe automatically. This product is then assigned to users when they initiate a subscription during the checkout process on your Join page.
Please note that products, coupons, or user edits made directly in Stripe won't sync with Uscreen. Only items created by Uscreen will be managed through our platform.
Stripe Billing Analytics
With Stripe creating products for subscriptions and coupons for your members, Stripe's Billing analytics feature will begin to report on churn, new users, conversion rates, and more.
More Ways to Integrate Uscreen Membership Data
With subscription data now being managed within Stripe, you can directly integrate with tools like Salesforce, Intercom, Klaviyo, and many more with Stripe subscription data syncing to these software.
