# Stripe Integration

> Reference for connecting, viewing, and disconnecting your Stripe account.

## Overview

Stripe is how your clients pay you directly. This is the reference for managing that connection after initial setup. For first-time setup, see [Connect Stripe](/getting-started/connect-stripe).

## Connection details

| Field                     | Description                                                            |
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Connected Account ID**  | Your unique Stripe Connect account identifier, shown once linked       |
| **Account status**        | Whether your Stripe account is active and able to accept payments      |
| **Stripe Dashboard link** | Opens your Stripe account to view payments, payouts, and customer data |

## Viewing your Stripe Dashboard

From **Billing & Usage**, click **Stripe Dashboard** to see payments, payouts, and customer data directly in Stripe.

## Disconnecting Stripe

From **Agency Settings → Billing**, click **Disconnect Stripe** and confirm.

<Warning>
  Disconnecting Stripe prevents new client payments and subscriptions immediately. Existing subscriptions may fail to renew until reconnected.
</Warning>

## Fees

Vapify charges no platform fee on payments. You pay Stripe's standard processing fees (for US card payments, approximately 2.9% + \$0.30 per transaction; rates vary by country and payment method — see [Stripe's pricing](https://stripe.com/pricing)) plus your own Vapify subscription. All client payments go directly to your Stripe account.

## Refunds

Issue a refund from the client's sub account (**Clients → \[client] → Billing → Issue Refund**) or directly from your Stripe Dashboard. Choose between a **Stripe Refund** (money returned to the client's payment method, typically 5-10 business days) or an **Account Credit** (stays as Balance in the client's Vapify account, no Stripe transaction).
