Stripe Fees: Checklist for Ecommerce Profit and Net Receipt
A concise checklist for modeling Stripe processing, Radar, disputes, and FX so your margin matches what you see in payouts.

Pull the effective rate from statements
Divide total processing cost by eligible sales for the same period. Exclude chargebacks you model separately if they swing results.
Add non-obvious Stripe costs
Radar, billing tools, and failed payment retries can be folded into a slightly higher blended rate or a small per-order other cost.
- FX fees when settlement currency differs from store currency
- Dispute fees when category risk is high
Operational discipline
Reconcile the model monthly. If Stripe is a large share of variable cost, even small rate changes should trigger a repricing or bundle review.
