Stripe card fees in Romania (RON)

A worked month

Assumptions: Stripe's standard pricing, an average order of RON 250, every payment successful, no refunds or disputes. Each line is rounded to the cent.

RON 50,000.00 in 200 orders, all standard European Economic Area cards: 1.5% of RON 50,000.00 = RON 750.00, plus 200 × RON 1.00 = RON 200.00. Total RON 950.00, or 1.90% of sales.

RON 250,000.00 in 1,000 orders, all standard European Economic Area cards: 1.5% of RON 250,000.00 = RON 3,750.00, plus 1,000 × RON 1.00 = RON 1,000.00. Total RON 4,750.00, or 1.90% of sales.

If a fifth of that RON 250,000 month came from international cards at 3.15% + RON 1.00, with no currency conversion, the bill would be RON 3,800.00 on the domestic RON 200,000 plus RON 1,775.00 on the international RON 50,000: RON 5,575.00 in total.

Month	Card mix	Stripe fees	Effective rate
RON 50,000 in 200 orders	All domestic standard cards	RON 950.00	1.90%
RON 50,000 in 200 orders	80% domestic, 20% international cards (no conversion)	RON 1,115.00	2.23%
RON 250,000 in 1,000 orders	All domestic standard cards	RON 4,750.00	1.90%
RON 250,000 in 1,000 orders	80% domestic, 20% international cards (no conversion)	RON 5,575.00	2.23%

What raises your fees

The headline rate covers the cheapest case. These push the real cost up:

Premium cards: 2.8% + RON 1.00 instead of 1.5% + RON 1.00.
Cards from abroad — UK cards: 2.5% + RON 1.00.
Cards from abroad — international cards (outside the EEA and UK): 3.15% + RON 1.00.
Currency conversion: +2% when the payment is in a currency other than the one you are paid out in.
Disputes: RON 100.00 for each dispute received, plus RON 100.00 if you counter it by hand (given back if you win).
Small orders: the fixed RON 1.00 weighs more on a small basket. On a RON 50 order, 1.5% + RON 1.00 is 3.50% 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.
