When a customer pays an invoice online, VisionScaper takes a processing fee out of the payment. The rest goes to the contractor’s Stripe account. You set the fee here.

Warning: Every rate named in this article is an unapproved placeholder from the plugin. Set your own rates after you check Stripe’s current fees and your own costs.

1. In WordPress, go to Settings → VisionScaper.
2. Scroll to Contractor payments (Stripe Connect).

Two tick boxes sit beside them:

• Let customers pay by bank account (ACH) (on by default)
• Offer contractors Instant Payouts (off by default)

Before you switch on Instant Payouts, enable Instant Payouts and Account Debits (US) for connected accounts in Stripe, and test in test mode.

• The fee is sent to Stripe as an application fee on the payment.
• It can never be more than the payment.
• Stripe’s own card fee is paid out of what you take, so your real margin is the fee minus Stripe’s costs.
• An Instant Payout fee has a minimum of $0.50.

The Get paid online screen shows the rates in plain words with a $1,000 example. When a payment arrives, the activity log shows the amount, the processing fee and what the contractor receives. The card reader screen warns that the fee shown is a placeholder.

1. Decide your rates.
2. Type them into the four boxes.
3. Tick or untick the two options.
4. Click Save Changes.
