What fees does Visualist charge on client payments, and when are payouts?
Visualist takes a payment fee on each card payment from a client: 0.7% on the Free plan and the Core plan, and 0.2% on the Growth plan. Stripe's processing fee is separate. You pay both; your client never does. Payouts follow your Stripe payout schedule.
When a client pays an invoice through Visualist, two fees come out of the payment: Visualist’s payment fee and Stripe’s processing fee. You pay both. Your client pays only the invoice amount.
Visualist’s payment fee
| Plan | Card payments |
|---|---|
| Free plan | 0.7% |
| Core plan | 0.7% |
| Growth plan | 0.2% |
The fee is taken from each payment, so on a payment plan it applies to the deposit and to every later payment. It’s rounded down to the smallest unit of the currency.
Stripe’s processing fee
Stripe charges its own fee on each payment, which depends on your country and the card your client uses. International and premium cards cost more.
See the fees before you send
When you review an invoice, You receive shows about what you’ll get after Stripe and Visualist fees. Stripe’s part is an estimate from its published domestic rate. After a client pays, the invoice’s Payments section shows what Stripe actually charged.
When payouts arrive
Client payments go straight to your Stripe account and are paid out to your bank on Stripe’s payout schedule. To see your balance and payouts, open Business Center from the rail, select Invoices, then Invoice settings, and select Open Stripe dashboard.
Payments you record yourself
A payment your client makes outside Visualist, such as cash, a check, or a bank transfer, has no Visualist fee. Record it on the invoice. See How do I send reminders, record a payment, or void an invoice?
These fees are for client payments only. Your own Visualist membership is billed separately. See What is included in each plan?
