Outgrown a plain payment link?

Why it fits

Built for the way you sell.

Your checkout, not Stripe's page

Payment Links is a Stripe-hosted page with preset fonts and your colours. Swipefast is your design, your sales page above it, on your own domain.

An offer after they pay

Swipefast shows one offer after payment that adds to the same card in one tap. Payment Links' extras are optional items before payment.

Payment plans and affiliates

Split a price into instalments and give affiliates tracked links and commission, both included.

Still your Stripe account

Buyers pay into your own Stripe account, exactly as with Payment Links. Swipefast takes 0% of your sales.

Questions

The short answers.

Is Stripe Payment Links enough?

For an occasional, simple sale, yes: it's free and fast. It's limited when you want your own branded checkout, an offer after payment, payment plans or affiliates.

Does Swipefast use my Stripe account?

Yes. You connect your own Stripe account and buyers pay into it, just like Payment Links. Swipefast takes 0% of your sales.

Can Payment Links do order bumps?

Payment Links can show up to 10 optional items before payment, which works like a simple bump. It has no offer after payment, which Swipefast includes.

Can I keep my Stripe payment links?

Yes. Nothing changes in Stripe. Use Swipefast for the offers you want to sell harder, and keep simple links where they work.
