Online payment fees

One TackDesk fee rate per charge

Each charge receives exactly one TackDesk fee rate based on what it pays for: recurring charges use the subscription management fee, while one-time charges use the payment automation fee. The two rates never stack on the same charge. A payment covering both kinds of charges is split accordingly.

Recurring charges paid online

A 0.7% subscription management fee applies to the portion of an online payment allocated to recurring charges. The payment automation fee does not apply to those charges.

One-time charges paid online

The plan's payment automation fee applies to the portion of an online payment allocated to one-time charges. The 0.7% subscription management fee does not apply to those charges.

  • Starter Barn0.75% payment automation fee
  • Growth Barn0.50% payment automation fee
  • Professional Barn0.25% payment automation fee
  • CustomNegotiated payment automation fee

Checks, cash, and external payments

No TackDesk billing fee applies when the barn records a check, cash, or external payment.

Stripe processing fees are separate from TackDesk billing fees and apply only when Stripe processes the payment. Stripe's actual rates vary by payment method and location.

The same recurring management rate as Stripe Billing

TackDesk's 0.7% subscription management fee is the same rate Stripe lists for Billing's standard pay-as-you-go plan. TackDesk provides the recurring workflow in place of Stripe Billing, so those two 0.7% fees do not stack.

What TackDesk billing fees cover

Subscription management fee

Recurring billing requires more than a payment link. TackDesk handles recurring invoice schedules, automatic payment attempts, failed-payment follow-up, board billing history, client billing access, and reconciliation.

Payment automation fee

The payment automation fee covers hosted payment links, invoice status updates, receipts, payment history, reconciliation, and client billing access for deposits, care fees, late fees, and custom invoices.

Billing questions

TackDesk billing fee FAQ

Barn plan billing, TackDesk billing fees, and Stripe processing cover different parts of the service.

Do all barn plans include a free trial?

Yes. Every barn plan starts with a 14-day free trial before plan billing begins.

How does annual barn plan billing work?

Annual billing costs the same as 10 monthly payments, so the barn receives 2 months free compared with paying month to month.

Are TackDesk billing fees in addition to Stripe fees?

Yes. Stripe charges its processing fee for online payments. TackDesk billing fees apply by charge: recurring charges use the subscription management fee, while one-time charges use the plan's payment automation fee. The two rates never stack on the same charge. A payment covering both kinds of charges is split accordingly.

Why does TackDesk charge 0.7% for recurring subscriptions?

Recurring subscriptions require lifecycle management: invoice schedules, payment method updates, failed-payment tracking, client billing history, and reconciliation. Stripe Billing's standard pay-as-you-go fee is 0.7% of Billing volume. TackDesk uses the same 0.7% subscription management fee while adding barn-specific tools for board billing and client billing access.

Am I paying more than I would with Stripe Billing?

No for recurring subscription management. TackDesk's 0.7% fee is the same rate Stripe lists for Billing's standard pay-as-you-go plan, and TackDesk provides barn-specific billing workflows at that rate. Stripe processing fees still apply in either case, and the TackDesk barn plan subscription separately covers the barn workspace.

Can I charge my clients a convenience fee for paying online?

Yes. Barns can configure their own convenience fee for online payments—a percentage or flat amount the barn chooses, shown before checkout and on receipts. It is a barn-set charge for the option of paying online, not a pass-through of processing costs. Availability may vary by payment method and location, and barns are responsible for complying with rules that apply to them.

Are TackDesk billing fees refunded when I refund a client?

No. Like Stripe's own processing fees, TackDesk billing fees are earned when a charge succeeds and are not returned on refunds because the billing automation already ran. TackDesk support can refund fees in exceptional cases such as a TackDesk error.

Do TackDesk billing fees apply to manually recorded payments?

No. TackDesk billing fees apply only to online payments processed through TackDesk. Manually recorded cash, check, or external payments do not incur TackDesk billing fees.

Does the recurring fee apply to one-time invoices?

No. The 0.7% subscription management fee applies to recurring barn-client subscriptions. One-time invoices, deposits, care fees, late fees, and custom charges use only the payment automation fee for the barn's plan.
