How to Reduce Stripe Fees

You shouldn’t have to lose hard-earned money to Stripe fees, and neither should your customers! Here are a few ways you can avoid or reduce Stripe fees:

1. Ask for custom rates

When contacting the Stripe sales team, you can inquire about custom rates for your business and earn less costly transaction fees.

2. Upgrade your Stripe plan

This may seem counterintuitive, but if you are sending several invoices each month, you may actually save money by paying more for a monthly Stripe plan instead of getting charged high percentages with every transaction.

3. Combine payments

Work out a plan with recurring customers to combine payments so you only pay the fixed fees one time.

4. Switch to fee-free invoicing

With Lili’s Invoicing Software, you can send professional invoices to your customers and collect payments without worrying about unnecessary fees!
