Payment

The Payment tab is where you set up how you get paid.

Stripe​

Connect the Stripe account that processes payments for your products: card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. See Connect Stripe for the full setup guide. Once connected, the tab shows your account status, and you can disconnect it at any time.

Currency​

The currency applied to your next products. Products you've already created keep their currency, so changing it never alters existing prices.

Invoices​

Once your Stripe account is connected and approved, an Invoices area appears in this tab. This is where you fill in the details that show up on every invoice your customers receive: your legal name, your address, your business registration number (your SIRET if you're in France), and, if you want, a short footer line at the bottom of the invoice.

Most of these are already filled in from your Stripe account. You can correct or complete them here whenever you like, and the change applies to the invoices generated from then on.

Collect the billing address​

At checkout, buyers normally decide for themselves whether they want an invoice: they tick a box, and only then fill in their address. Turn on Collect billing address when you'd rather have that address on every order, without leaving the choice to the buyer.

Once it's on, the address fields appear as soon as the buyer has entered their name and email, with their name already filled in. They complete the address to place their order, and their invoice is sent to them by email as soon as the payment goes through.

It's the setting to use when you always need a real billing address, for instance when your accounting requires a full invoice for each sale.

Collect VAT​

If you're registered for VAT, you have to add it to your prices and show it on your invoices. TinyPages does this for you, so you never have to work out a rate by hand or edit an invoice.

Here's how it works once you turn on Collect VAT:

  1. Enter your VAT number. This is required, and it appears on every invoice.
  2. From then on, the prices you set stay exactly as you enter them, with no tax included.
  3. At checkout, your buyer picks their country. If they're in the European Union, the right VAT rate for that country is added on top of your price, and they see it clearly before they pay.
  4. Their invoice shows the amount before tax, the VAT, and the total, all laid out for them.

A few things worth knowing:

  • VAT is only added for buyers inside the European Union. A buyer outside the EU pays your price with no tax, and their invoice shows no VAT.
  • The rate always follows the buyer's country, not yours. A German buyer is charged the German rate, a Spanish buyer the Spanish rate.
  • If you're not registered for VAT, simply leave this switch off. Your invoices stay exactly as they are today.

The switch only turns on once your Stripe account is connected and approved, since that's what confirms you're really selling through TinyPages.
