Avatar

Easily collect payment for your product launches and webinars without requiring attendees to leave the platform.

Brandlive partners with Stripe, a global leader in payment processing, to allow Admins & Site builders to easily sell tickets for an event without requiring users to leave the platform. Attendees can easily fill out their card details on a secure Stripe form at registration and the payment is instantly sent to your Express Account from Brandlive.  Stripe offers low fees, high security for your data, reliable 24 hour service, and quick account set up.

Please note, the account you will create is an Express Account through Brandlive to be used for your projects, it is not a complete Stripe account to be used in other instances. 

Benefits of Using Stripe

Low fees: Integrated per-transaction pricing means no setup fees or monthly fees. Stripe collects 2.9% per successful transaction, while Brandlive collects 7% of ticket sales. 

Secure data: Rest assured that your sensitive information is safe and secure. Stripe has been audited by a PCI-certified auditor and is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1, the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry.
