How Stripe Fees Work in Australia
Stripe Australia offers competitive domestic rates at 1.7% + A$0.30 — significantly lower than the US rate of 2.9%. International cards cost 3.5% + A$0.30, and there is an additional 1% currency conversion fee when applicable.
These fees are deducted automatically from each payment before the funds reach your Stripe balance. There are no monthly fees, no setup costs, and no hidden charges for the standard plan.
Australian businesses benefit from one of the lowest domestic Stripe rates globally, making it an excellent choice for businesses primarily serving Australian customers. The low 1.7% domestic rate means you keep more of every sale.

FAQ
Does Stripe charge monthly fees in Australia?
No. Stripe has no monthly fees, setup fees, or cancellation fees in Australia. You only pay per transaction when you receive payments.
Why is Stripe's Australian domestic rate lower than the US?
Stripe sets different rates per country based on local card network interchange rates and market conditions. Australia's regulated interchange environment results in lower underlying costs, which Stripe passes on as a 1.7% domestic rate — versus 2.9% in the US.
How do I reduce Stripe fees in Australia?
Encourage domestic card payments to benefit from the 1.7% rate. High-volume businesses can contact Stripe for custom pricing. Avoiding currency conversion by pricing in AUD also eliminates the additional 1% conversion fee.
