When you take payments through Get Ink, Stripe securely processes the transaction - but like all payment platforms, there are some fees involved. This guide explains what to expect so there are no surprises.
Stripe charges a processing fee on each payment. This fee covers things like payment handling, fraud protection, and secure transfers.
💡 Stripe fees vary based on the payment method and the currency you’re charging in.
You can always see the exact and up-to-date fees on Stripe’s website:

Get Ink Platform fee
We also charge a small fixed platform fee to help cover features like:
• Booking reminders via SMS and email
• Payment link generation
• Admin and scheduling tools
This fee is collected automatically per transaction, and varies by currency.
💬 You can choose to pass this fee on to your client.
For example, if you set a £50 deposit, the client would be charged £51 total - covering both the deposit and the platform fee.
This way, your payout remains the same, and the platform features are still covered. You can change this on a per appointment basis.
Get Ink supports several currencies - here are the fixed platform fees:
🇬🇧 GBP £1.00
🇪🇺 EUR €1.00
🇺🇸 USD $1.30
🇨🇦 CAD $2.00
🇦🇺 AUD $2.00
🇳🇴 NOK 14kr
