    Screendoor lets you charge submission fees for your projects by allowing you to easily receive credit card payments via Stripe. After you create a Stripe account, connect it to Screendoor, and set the fee amount for your project, respondents will be asked for payment before submitting their response.

    **Note:** You must be an administrator, or have the appropriate [permissions](/articles/screendoor/your_account/managing_users.html#managing-user-permissions), to manage payments for your organization.

    Getting started

    To accept credit card payments, you will first need to create a Stripe account.

    Once you’ve set up your Stripe account, select the “Edit” link on the right side of the project header, and select “Project Page” in the project wizard. Check the box “Charge a submission fee.”

    Press the “Connect with Stripe” button to connect to your Stripe account. You will be redirected to Stripe’s website. Complete the form and press the “Authorize access to this account” button to return to Screendoor.

    **Note:** Payment profiles are shared across all projects in your organization, so you will only need to complete this process once.

    Once you have connected to Stripe, enter the amount you would like the respondent to pay.

    Under the fee amount, Screendoor shows you the percentage you will receive after Stripe’s and Screendoor’s transaction fees.

    Switching Stripe accounts

    To change the Stripe account connected to your Screendoor project, select the “Edit” link on the right side of the project header and select “Project Page” in the project wizard. Under “Charge a submission fee,” click “X” next to your current Stripe account to remove it.

    F.A.Q.

    Will respondents need a Stripe account in order to pay?

    All they’ll need is a valid credit card. No account necessary!

    Can I waive payment for specific respondents?

    Yes, you can waive payment for a specific response from the Drafts page.

    Are there processing fees?

    Yes: 5% + 30¢ per transaction. Stripe charges 2.9% plus 30¢, and Screendoor charges an additional 2.1%.
