Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What do my customers see on their credit card statement?
A: That setting is taken care of inside of Stripe in Stripe Account Settings > Public Details > Statement Descriptor.
Q: When do I get money deposited into my bank account? Where are my sales?
A: Important things to note:
- Stripe is responsible for depositing your sales into your bank account. Please check out Stripe's help for what they call "Payouts" for more information.
- Stripe will normally deposit your sales into your bank account every 2 days, with no "holds"!
- (Optional) If you have multiple Stripe and/or SamPay accounts, make sure you are viewing the right dashboard! You can toggle between accounts using the drop-down menu in the upper left corner of your desktop screen.
Q: How do I get in touch with Stripe?
A: If you have any questions for Stripe, click over to their Contact Us page and reach out.
Q: Is Stripe available everywhere?
A: Stripe is not available in every country. See their list at stripe.com/global
Q: I use Stripe India. Do I need to complete any additional steps?
A: Stripe India requires either the Billing Address or Shipping Address field in order to process a payment.
You can turn on address fields by going into any product, clicking on the Checkout Design tab, and launching the Drag + Drop Content Builder.
Click on the Settings tab at the top-right of your screen, and use the checkboxes to turn on the Billing Address or the Shipping Address for this page. Remember to Publish after to make your changes live!
Q: If I cancel my SamCart account, will my subscriptions continue to charge?
A: For Active recurring subscriptions - subscriptions will only stop if you or the customer cancel their subscription via your Marketplace before you cancel. If you do not cancel the customer's subscriptions, they will continue to bill normally even when the SamCart account is closed. After that, Stripe would manage the active recurring subscription. So they can be managed directly from your connected Stripe account moving forward.
For Active limited subscriptions, such as payment plans that will end after a set number of payments - these will be stopped immediately and will not continue to bill. This is due to the fact that they are directly managed by SamCart itself, not your connected processor(s).
Q: Stripe is asking me for a “website” URL when creating my account. What do I put for that?
A: If you already have an active website, you can use that! If you do not have a website, no worries at all! You can use any of your SamCart Products’ URLs. You would first need to grab this URL by creating a Product or selecting one of your already created Products. Then head over to the Share tab, and grab either the Express page link or the Sales Page link, whichever checkout experience you are using to sell your products! 
Q: What is the difference between Stripe and SamPay?
A: SamPay was created in conjunction with Stripe as a processor to use solely with SamCart. This specific SamCart and Stripe partnership brings you more tools and features to your Marketplace!
Q: What does “Powered by Stripe” or “Managed by Stripe” mean?
A: SamCart and Stripe teamed up to bring you an even stronger payment processor! This basically means that SamCart is using Stripe’s payment processor to offer you more tools and features that are exclusively available on the SamPay payment processor.
Q: Is it possible to disconnect “SamCart” from my Stripe account when I close my SamCart account?
A: Yes, this can be done. You will, however, need to write into Support at support@samcart.com to request this!
