Stripe Scale is a flexible monthly subscription plan that can save you up to 58% on included products compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.¹ Every plan has lower card processing fees and access to included Stripe products for a monthly fee.

Scale Starter starts at $39 per month, Scale Plus at $59 per month, and Scale Pro at $89 per month. If your business exceeds $5,000 in processing volume in a given month, fees apply for each additional $1,000 in processing volume.

With standard pricing, you pay for each Stripe product you use, along with the standard payment processing fee of 2.9% + 30¢ per successful transaction for domestic cards. For example, if a customer pays a one-time invoice with a domestic card, you pay 0.4% to use Stripe Invoicing, plus 2.9% + 30¢ to process the card. If a customer disputes a transaction, you’re also responsible for a dispute fee. By comparison, Stripe Scale offers access to included Stripe products and exclusive discounts for a monthly fee.

A dispute (also known as a chargeback) occurs when a cardholder questions your payment with their card issuer. The card issuer creates a formal dispute, which immediately reverses the payment. Stripe notifies you of the dispute and debits your Stripe balance for the dispute amount, plus a $15 dispute received fee. With Stripe Scale, five card dispute fees are waived each month. Standard pricing applies for additional disputes.

You can cancel your Stripe Scale plan anytime from the Dashboard by navigating to Settings > Plans and fees. Under Stripe Scale, click “Cancel plan.” After your current subscription period ends, your account will automatically transition to pay-as-you-go pricing for continued use of any products or features. You can also upgrade or downgrade your Stripe Scale plan from the Dashboard by navigating to Settings > Plans and fees. Under Stripe Scale, click “View plans” and then “Select plan” for the Scale tier you are interested in. Your new plan will be effective once your current period subscription ends.
