What exactly is Stripe?
As a seller on our site, you will need to register with Stripe in order to receive your earnings from your e-book sales.
But now you don't have to worry that we'll be advertising for dubious foreign banks or spying on your data.
Stripe is an online payment service like PaypalMany people work with Paypal; for example, if you want to buy something on Amazon or sell something on eBay, it usually goes through Paypal.
Stripe is not used by individuals, but by companies such as Jimdo, SAP, Daimler, Amazon, Deliveroo, Pinterest and Facebook. It is the best way to accept payments online. The amounts processed annually are in the billions.
We give you access to Stripe so that you can collect money from your sales - customers and readers themselves don't even need their own account, whether with Stripe, PayPal or anywhere else, they can simply pay by direct debit, Sofort or with a credit card. This is uncomplicated, more versatile than PayPal and makes it easier for your customers, which in turn leads to more sales.
