What is the benefit of using Kajabi Payments over Stripe or PayPal?

Kajabi Payments is purpose-built for Kajabi Heroes to support an all-in-one experience. It includes exclusive features only available via Kajabi Payments, such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, Afterpay, Klarna, Xero, Quickbooks integrations, and the option to calculate sales tax on your offers!

If I make the switch, what happens to Stripe or PayPal?

Stripe will remain connected to your Kajabi account and continue to process any existing residual payments (see the next question for details). However, once you switch to Kajabi Payments and enable it on all of your offers, you will see new payments coming through your Kajabi Dashboard, where you can manage your payments and payouts.

PayPal operates as a separate payment processor and will remain unaffected by the switch.

What happens to my current subscriptions or multi-pays?

Any existing subscriptions or multiple-payment plans will remain on Stripe and continue to bill through the 3rd party platform. Kajabi Payments will only take effect for future transactions moving forward.

Does Kajabi Payments charge fees?

Kajabi Payments fees are the same as Stripe and vary by region. Check out the fee structure for your location below:
