Have you ever wanted to accept credit cards on your website without sending your customers to Paypal?
All FASO accounts support accepting credit cards via Stripe for sales from your website.
All you have to do is setup a free Stripe account (if you don’t have one) and connect your Stripe account to your FASO account.
This provides your customers with a much smoother checkout process and does not send them to a separate site. The full transaction stays in your shopping cart.
Once you enable Stripe on your account, the FASO software will automatically create Add to Cart buttons for any artwork showing a price and Availability left blank or set as Available.

How You Receive the Money
When a customer makes a purchase, the money collected by Stripe is transferred to your bank account.
The time frame of when the money is transferred is dependent upon the schedule you set up in your Stripe account.

NOTES:
- FASO does not charge any commission fee on your sales.
- FASO does not process the transactions.
- PayPal or Stripe handle the money aspect of the sale. The funds are never, at anytime, in the FASO system. We would not be withholding funds ever.
- If a transaction was successfully processed by PayPal, PayPal will hold the funds in your PayPal account or release them to your bank account. The action taken is dependent upon your settings in your PayPal account.
- If a transaction was successfully processed by Stripe, Stripe will release the funds by making a payout to the bank account registered in your Stripe account.
- Both merchant services will alert you by sending you an email. If there is a problem with receiving your funds, you will need to contact PayPal or Stripe.
