Hi @edflemi,
Happy to clarify.
There are two options for connecting to Stripe with GiveWP:
**Stripe Free: GiveWP offers a free version of Stripe that you can connect to within the free version of GiveWP. This option includes an additional fee from GiveWP of 2% (on top of normal payment processing fees). More on Stripe free here: https://givewp.com/documentation/core/payment-gateways/stripe-free/ and here https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/give/#how%20do%20i%20eliminated%20the%202%25%20fee%20on%20stripe%20donations%3F
**Stripe Premium: This is our premium add-on for Stripe, where there is NO additional 2% commission fee. This premium add-on allows for Google and Apple Pay as well as some other additional functionality that’s not included in the free version of Stripe. More on the premium add-on here: https://givewp.com/documentation/add-ons/stripe-gateway/. A yearly license for GiveWP for the Plus Plan or the Stripe premium gateway will remove this 2% fee. You’ll need to make sure that your Stripe premium add-on is installed.
If you purchase any of our Plans, you’ll want to make sure to install and activate your Stripe Payment Gateway add-on to remove the 2% fee.
