### What each path costs

Stripe's standard plan has no setup fee and no monthly fee. Each of the six options publishes its own pricing. ElasticFunnels also charges 0.5% on revenue through its own gateways, and a 14-day trial does not ask for a card. [See ElasticFunnels pricing](/reviews/elasticfunnels/pricing).

### Is it worth the money?

##### What works

* An underwriter can approve the account before the first sale, so the category decision happens before payouts are in motion.
* A direct-response checkout can place the first sale on more than one gateway, so a hold on one account does not have to stop every order.
* A marketplace acting as the seller of record handles the card payment, the sales tax and the affiliate payouts.

##### What to watch

* None of these paths will release the balance Stripe is holding. That decision stays with Stripe's review after the pause.
* Routing only sends a charge to merchant accounts an underwriter has already approved. It does not board those accounts. The pages and the CRM stay usable while the applications are pending.
* A marketplace keeps the buyer as its customer and takes a cut of each sale. That is the cost of handing the customer relationship to the marketplace.

### Frequently asked questions

Is there one price for leaving Stripe? 

No. Stripe's own standard plan has no monthly fee. The bill after that is the path in the table: a subscription, a quote, or a cut of each sale.

Does ElasticFunnels add a fee on marketplace sales? 

The 0.5% applies to its own gateways. A sale sent to ClickBank, Digistore24, BuyGoods or Shopify Checkout is not charged that percentage.

Why does Konnektive require a custom quote? 

Konnektive does not publish a platform fee. The number comes from a sales call, and card processing on your accounts is billed by each processor.
