Payments
instxnt + Stripe
Every instxnt storefront uses Stripe Connect for checkout. Funds route directly to the seller's connected Stripe account; instxnt does not hold customer funds. The buyer gets cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Link out of the box.
What you get
Stripe Connect (Express)
Sellers connect their Stripe account in 60 seconds via OAuth. Funds settle to the seller's bank on Stripe's standard schedule.
Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link
Stripe's full payment-method set is enabled by default. Mobile buyers get one-tap checkout via Apple Pay / Google Pay.
Webhook-driven order state
instxnt listens to Stripe webhooks (`checkout.session.completed`, `payment_intent.succeeded`) so the dashboard always reflects the truth.
Stripe-direct payouts
Funds route directly from buyer to your Stripe account via Stripe Connect. instxnt never holds your money. Free plan: 3% instxnt fee + Stripe (2.9% + 30¢). Pro plan: $19/mo flat, 0% instxnt fee, Stripe processing only.

Frequently asked
Do I need a business entity to use Stripe with instxnt?
Stripe accepts individual / sole-proprietor accounts in most regions. If your country requires a registered business for Stripe, that requirement applies regardless of which storefront platform you use.
What countries are supported?
Anywhere Stripe Connect supports. As of 2026 that's 40+ countries including the US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia, Singapore, and Japan.
Does instxnt take a cut of my Stripe revenue?
On the Free plan, instxnt takes a 3% platform fee on top of Stripe's standard processing (2.9% + 30¢ in the US). On the Pro plan ($19/mo flat), the platform fee drops to 0% — Stripe processing only. Pro pays for itself fast at meaningful volume.
Can I use my existing Stripe account?
Yes — that's the typical path. The Connect OAuth flow links your existing Stripe account; you don't need a new one.
