Payments

You land here either before taking a first payment or after one went wrong. Stripe or PayPal is the decision to make first, and it is not close. What systeme.io takes is worth knowing before you price anything. The rest are failures with documented causes: a missing payment method, the wrong currency, a subscription payment that did not go through. None of them is the platform being broken, which is usually the first assumption.

• Stripe or PayPal: which should I connect first? Both can run at the same time. One of them needs a step by hand that the other does not.
• Do I need a registered business to take payments? systeme.io does not ask. The payment gateway does, and one of its answers is individual.
• What happens when a customer's subscription payment fails? Three more attempts, then cancellation. Who decides the timing is the part nobody expects.
• Coupon or price-plan discount: which one do I want? One of these two is not a feature. Here is what people mean by it, and when it beats a code.
• Does systeme.io take a cut of my sales? systeme.io takes nothing. That is not the same as the sale costing you nothing.
• Do I have to send invoices, and will systeme.io do it for me? The invoices already exist. Getting them to the customer is the part that is yours.
• How is a free trial actually billed? No money at signup, one charge waiting at the end. And the card check that is not a charge.
• Why does my order form show the wrong currency? One setting looks like the fix. It only ever applies to funnels that do not exist yet.
• Why is the payment method I switched on missing from my checkout? Eleven methods, ten help articles, two shared conditions and a third for most. None of the conditions is the checkbox itself.
• Why is the wrong email address on my Apple Pay orders? What the buyer had already typed into the fields filled from Apple Pay does not count. The Apple Pay details overwrite it.
