Every rate
Stripe's standard online card pricing for businesses in Brazil, as published on its pricing page and read on 31 October 2026. Other payment methods (bank debits, wallets, buy now pay later) are priced separately on the same page.
| Fee | Rate | When it applies |
|---|---|---|
| Domestic card (domestic cards) | 3.99% + R$0.39 | Each successful payment |
| International card (international cards) | +2% | Card issued outside the domestic area |
| Dispute received | R$55.00 | Each dispute (chargeback) you receive |
| Dispute countered | R$55.00 | Each dispute you respond to manually; refunded if you win |
| Setup or monthly fee | None | Standard pricing |
A worked month
Assumptions: Stripe's standard pricing, an average order of R$250, every payment successful, no refunds or disputes. Each line is rounded to the cent.
R$50,000.00 in 200 orders, all domestic cards: 3.99% of R$50,000.00 = R$1,995.00, plus 200 × R$0.39 = R$78.00. Total R$2,073.00, or 4.15% of sales.
R$250,000.00 in 1,000 orders, all domestic cards: 3.99% of R$250,000.00 = R$9,975.00, plus 1,000 × R$0.39 = R$390.00. Total R$10,365.00, or 4.15% of sales.
If a fifth of that R$250,000 month came from international cards at 5.99% + R$0.39, with no currency conversion, the bill would be R$8,292.00 on the domestic R$200,000 plus R$3,073.00 on the international R$50,000: R$11,365.00 in total.

What raises your fees
The headline rate covers the cheapest case. These push the real cost up:
Stripe's Brazilian page applies the 2% international add-on to the amount after conversion to reais and lists no separate currency conversion fee.
- Cards from abroad — international cards: 2% on top of the domestic rate (5.99% + R$0.39 in total).
- Disputes: R$55.00 for each dispute received, plus R$55.00 if you counter it by hand (given back if you win).
- Small orders: the fixed R$0.39 weighs more on a small basket. On a R$50 order, 3.99% + R$0.39 is 4.78% of the sale.
For developers
The fee Stripe actually took on a payment is on that charge's balance transaction (fee and fee_details), in your settlement currency. Read it from there rather than recomputing it from this page, because card type and conversion change it per payment.
