Integrating Event Temple & Stripe allow customers to pay Event Temple Invoices online with a credit card. When a customer makes a payment on Stripe, it goes directly to your bank account. Think of Stripe as a digital POS (Point of Sale) and credit card processing system, connected to Event Temple.
You must have a Stripe account in order to integrate with Stripe. There is an initial set up process which involves connecting your bank account. When you choose to use Stripe with our software, you are selecting them as a payment vendor and you do so at your own discretion, enter into a relationship with Stripe as you would with any new software vendor & ensure any key stakeholders are involved in the decision.
⚠️ Prior to connecting to Stripe ensure your Organization's currency is correct. Stripe will process payments in the currency you have selected within your Organization Settings.

Important Considerations
Important Considerations
Stripe is an independent, third party company that you connect to Event Temple. Stripe charges 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction (subject to change). This is a fee strictly between the user (you) and Stripe. Event Temple cannot impact or change these amounts. We recommend visiting www.stripe.com to learn more about their features and processing fees.
Event Temple links to one Stripe account only. It is not possible to have more than one Stripe account linked to an Event Temple subscription.
If you are part of a multi-organization chain, each organization will need to be linked to a separate Stripe Account.
Stripe can be connected to third party accounting programs and other applications that are separate from Event Temple.
If you are attempting payment on a new Stripe account & come across the 'spinning' icon, this is generally due to your Stripe Account being disabled for Payments. Please contact Stripe & ensure your Account is enabled.
