How to Set Up Stripe with Zipper
Connect Stripe to Zipper so you can sell packages, punch cards, events, and appointments. Step-by-step setup, plus answers on fees and existing accounts.
Zipper uses Stripe Connect to process payments. Once you connect a Stripe account, you can sell packages, punch cards, event registrations, class drop-ins, and appointments directly through Zipper.
1. Sign in to Zipper
Log in to your Zipper admin account from a desktop browser. The Stripe connection flow needs to redirect to Stripe and back, so it’s easiest on desktop.
2. Open Organization → Integrations
From the admin dashboard, navigate to Organization → Integrations → Connect Stripe Account.
3. Create your Stripe Connect account
Click Connect Stripe Account and follow Stripe’s prompts. You’ll provide your business details, bank account, and identity verification. Stripe walks you through every field.
When the flow completes, Stripe redirects you back to Zipper and the integration is live.
4. Start charging in Zipper
With Stripe connected, you can now:
- Create paid packages and punch cards
- Sell event registrations
- Charge for classes and appointments
- Send invoices and process card-on-file payments
FAQ
I already have a Stripe account — can I just plug it in?
You still need to create a new Stripe Connect account through Zipper’s flow. Stripe Connect is what lets Zipper attach your products to classes, events, and appointments correctly. Your existing Stripe account is unaffected.
What are the fees?
Standard credit card processing fees apply through Stripe Connect:
- 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction for one-off packages
- 3.4% + $0.30 per transaction for subscriptions
Zipper’s own platform fees are tier-based — check your plan in Pricing for specifics.
