Frequently Asked Question

Do I Have to Pay Fees When Accepting Payments via Stripe on the Platform?

Yes, as a seller on hiremeout.uk, you will incur Stripe fees when customers purchase your services and the payment is processed through Stripe.

We use Stripe Connect (Express accounts) to securely manage all transactions and enable direct payouts to your bank account.

What Fees Will I Pay?

When a customer books a service, Stripe automatically deducts the following fees before the funds are transferred to your account:

Stripe Fees in the United Kingdom:

• Stripe processing fee: 1.5% + 20p per transaction (for UK-issued cards)
• Stripe Connect Express fee: 0.25% of the payout amount, capped at £2

Fees may be slightly higher for international cards or transactions involving currency conversion.
