Stripe Account Types
New to Stripe
If you don't have a Stripe account, Daybook creates one for you during setup. You'll receive login credentials from Stripe.
Existing Stripe Account
If you already use Stripe, you can connect your existing account. Your existing settings and history remain intact.
Payout Schedule
After payments are processed:
| Region | Typical Payout Time |
|---|---|
| Canada | 2-3 business days |
| USA | 2 business days |
| UK | 2 business days |
Stripe deposits funds directly to your connected bank account.
Fees
Stripe charges approximately:
- 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction (Canadian cards)
- 3.5% + $0.30 for international cards
- Additional 1% for currency conversion
These fees are charged by Stripe, not Daybook.
