Setting up your payment gateway is an important step toward getting paid by your customers. When a customer checks out, they can choose to pay for their order using any of the methods that you’ve enabled in the Payment providers area of your KitCart admin.
KitCart allows merchants to receive Automated Payments with several payment gateways and one of them is stripe. Stripe allows you to accept credit and debit card payments, set up recurring subscriptions, and use the Buy Now Pay Later business model with Afterpay and Klarna. Stripe also supports Apple and Google Pay, so customers can checkout with one tap in your store. In addition, you can add various payment options popular in the EU to your store, such as giropay, SEPA, iDEAL, Sofort, Klarna, Alipay.
Stripe charges 2.9% fee for a transaction. You can create a new Stripe account by filling in a short form or connect your existing Stripe account and start accepting online payments straight away.
Stripe is available in over 47 countries including the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, Japan, and others.
