As we're moving away from our own built-in payment gateway that was powered by Stripe and allowing you to connect to Stripe directly for an even more powerful payment experience, we know you may have some questions.
Take a look below for the most frequently asked questions to better understand how the change will impact your business. Do not hesitate to contact our support team if your question has not been covered within this article.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will recurring subscriptions be canceled when I switch to a Stripe account?
A: No, recurring payments will continue on your Trainrize Pay account and once your Stripe account has been connected and verified, recurring payments will continue on.
Q: Do I need to create new products or discounts?
A: No, you do not need to create new products or discounts. All previous products and discounts will remain the same and new clients can purchase and use discounts that were created before the switch to Stripe.
Q: Will my payout schedule be interrupted?
A: The payout schedule should not be interrupted. Your Trainerize Pay account will remain connected until your Stripe account is fully connected. For example, if your Stripe account is paused due to pending approval r your onboarding is not complete, your Trainerize account will continue to be connected and receive payouts. Once your Stripe account is connected and verified, you will continue to receive payouts as scheduled, uninterrupted to the bank account you added when creating and connecting your Stripe account.
Q: Will you delete my previous transaction history?
A: No, previous transactions will remain under the Payments > Transactions tab. Previous transactions that occurred when Trainerize Pay was set up can be filtered with a new filter under "Account Type" and trainers can select either Trainerize Pay or Stripe.
Q: What will happen when the dispute occurs on one of the older transactions?
A: The owner of the account will be able to respond to the dispute and submit evidence in the ABC Trainerize web account under the Disputes tab. The trainer will be notified about the result of the dispute through the notification.
