When conducting transactions on Contra, it's important to understand the fees associated with payment transactions. Here's a detailed explanation:
Stripe Processing Fee
A Stripe processing fee is applied every time you make a payment to a contractor. This fee, typically between 3-5%, covers costs associated with secure and efficient transaction processing.
Compliant Contract Fee
Clients without a Contra for Companies subscription will be charged a fee for each contract. The fee for one-off services is $29 per contract. For ongoing projects, the fee is $29 per month per contractor.
Contra provides a comprehensive workspace for finding, hiring, managing, and paying contractors. Searching for contractors and posting jobs is free. Clients are only charged a fee of $29 for one-time projects (or $29 per month per contractor for ongoing projects) once they’ve hired the perfect contractor for their project.
These fees cover compliant contracts, dispute assistance throughout the project, and commission-free global payments.
Waived Fees
Client fees for contracts and invoices are waived when clients are invited by a Contra Pro subscriber to join a project on Contra. Learn more here.
Note that Stripe fees and taxes may still apply to proposals and invoices as these are implemented by our third-party payment provider, and the funds do not go to Contra.
