What Stripe Fees Apply in Canada?
Stripe Canada fees include a percentage-based processing fee plus a fixed transaction fee for successful payments. Additional charges apply for international cards, currency conversion, invoices, subscriptions, and advanced Stripe products.
| Payment Type | Stripe Fee |
|---|---|
| Domestic Canadian cards | 2.9% + C$0.30 |
| International cards | additional surcharge |
| Currency conversion | additional conversion fee |
Canadian Stripe pricing depends on customer card country, settlement currency, payment method, Stripe products used, and international transaction volume.
Domestic Stripe Fees in Canada
Stripe Canada domestic online card payments generally use a 2.9% + C$0.30 fee structure for Canadian-issued cards.
Stripe Fee = (Transaction Amount x 0.029) + 0.30
| Transaction | Stripe Fee | Net Revenue |
|---|---|---|
| C$10 | C$0.59 | C$9.41 |
| C$50 | C$1.75 | C$48.25 |
| C$100 | C$3.20 | C$96.80 |
| C$500 | C$14.80 | C$485.20 |
Smaller payments experience higher effective fee percentages because the fixed fee impacts low-value transactions more heavily.
International Card Fees in Canada
Stripe Canada applies higher processing fees when customers use international cards instead of Canadian-issued cards.
International fees affect Canadian SaaS companies, ecommerce brands, exporters, subscription businesses, agencies, and digital product sellers, especially when selling globally.
Currency Conversion Fees in Canada
Stripe Canada applies additional conversion costs when businesses settle payments in a different currency from the original customer payment currency.
Currency conversion commonly affects CAD to USD, USD to CAD, EUR to CAD, and GBP to CAD. Businesses processing international payments may combine international card fee, conversion markup, and exchange spread, which lowers final net revenue.

Stripe products add extra pricing layers beyond standard Canadian payment processing fees.
| Stripe Product | Additional Cost |
|---|---|
| Stripe Billing | Subscription fee layer |
| Stripe Invoicing | Invoice product fee |
| Stripe Radar | Fraud protection fee |
| Stripe Connect | Marketplace fee logic |
| Stripe Terminal | In-person payment fee |
| Stripe Tax | Tax automation fee |
Subscription businesses and SaaS companies commonly combine Stripe Payments, Stripe Billing, Stripe Invoicing, and Stripe Connect, creating multiple payment infrastructure cost layers.
