Get paid on your own account. Keep the fees honest.
Take card and ACH through your own Stripe Connect account, with a platform fee that's itemized instead of hidden. And if you want to, pass the card processing fee to the customer: optional, guard-railed, and only where it's legal. Configure it all at Settings → Payments.
- Your Stripe Connect account
- Itemized platform fee
- PCI scope handled by Stripe
Every line visible. Nothing buried in the rate.
Transparent by design
Your money, your account, your call on fees.
Payments that don't make you the product, built directly on Stripe Connect.
Your Stripe account, not ours
Payments run through your own Stripe Connect account. You own the merchant dashboard, the payout schedule, and the relationship. Meridian never sits between you and your money.
A platform fee you can actually read
Our fee is a flat 1% of the payment, itemized and clear, with no quiet markup baked into the processing rate. You see exactly what Stripe charges and exactly what Meridian charges, line by line.
Optional card-fee surcharging
Turn on surcharging to pass the card processing fee to the customer where the law allows it. It is off by default and guard-railed.
Card, ACH, and the wallets
Accept cards, ACH bank transfers, Apple Pay, and Link. Customers pay a branded invoice; the money posts straight to your Connect account.
Surcharging, done responsibly.
Card surcharging is regulated and not permitted everywhere. Meridian keeps it off by default and guard-railed, so you only enable it where it's legal and within the caps that apply. When it's on, the surcharge shows as its own clear line, never a surprise.
This isn't legal advice. Confirm the rules for your state and card network before turning it on.
