Signing Up with PayPal and Stripe

@Taralph,

Hi Andy,

I have signed up for Stripe, and played around with it for a bit. Currently, Stripe was only available to add funds to a scout account. There was no button to pay for an event with Stripe. Personally, I like the way it is set up, with only the ability to add funds to a scout account.

Basically, when adding funds by credit card, a popup box appears with a message there is a .25 fee. My $2 deposit actually cost me $2.25. After posting, there was a .37 transaction fee in my primary account from Stripe to process the credit card transaction. A $2 deposit was in my scout account. $2.00-.37 = $1.63 deposit into the checking account.

There is the potential for lots of processing fees in the register of the account you tell Stripe to use for processing fees.

I looked on Stripe and the transaction amount was $2.25- .62 (fees .25+.37) for a total of $1.63 deposit into the checking account. This deposit takes a few days to process.

I hope this makes sense. I can post some screenshots if you’d like.

Regards,

Scott
