There are no setup or monthly fees for using stripe. Your Stripe account will be linked to your Pilot Partner account automatically. When you send your student an invoice and they pay using a credit card, your funds will automatically be transferred to your stripe account.
You can configure stripe to direct deposit your funds as frequent as every 2 business days to your bank account. You are able to use Stripe’s Web Portal, iPhone, iPad and Android apps to track your funds, run reports and see history.

AD-HOC INVOICES
You can create any invoice you want to any student who is in your Pilot Partner CFI Dashboard. Charge for ground school, aircraft rental, and any other service.
PAY AS YOU GO
As is true with all credit card processors, there is a transaction fee for using CFI Pay to collect money via credit cards. Pilot Partner manages these fees for you and we collect a small fee as well to cover our cost of development and support of the CFI Dashboard. Your total fee is 3.9% + $0.50 a transaction. Only 1% + $0.20 per transaction goes to Pilot Partner, the rest is what Stripe charges.
