Linking a Stripe account to OnZoom host account
You can now accept payments online for OnZoom events using Stripe, which is a powerful and easy to use payment processing service. You are also able to link your PayPal business account; this is another option for accepting online payments.
Prerequisites for linking Stripe to your OnZoom host account
- Zoom desktop client
- Windows: 5.6.5 (823) or higher
- MacOS: 5.6.4 (765) or higher
- Zoom mobile client
- IOS: 5.6.4 (308) or higher
- Android: 5.6.4 (1862) or higher
- Depending on your account type (Pro, Business, Enterprise, or Education)
How to link a Stripe account to your OnZoom host account
Note: From the OnZoom account page, you can link multiple OnZoom accounts to a single Stripe account.
In order to link a Stripe account with your OnZoom host account for the first time, you’ll need to create a new Stripe account. If you already have an existing Stripe account, you will still need to create a new one. The benefit of using information from an existing Stripe account is that you do not have to go through the whole account creation process if you already have an account.
Note: In order to guarantee that your Stripe account is linked to your OnZoom host account, you should only use this account for sales originating from events that are listed directly on OnZoom. In addition, payouts will operate from this account only once an event is over. This account should not be used for any other Stripe products which are available on the Stripe platform, including Stripe Billing, Stripe Invoicing, and Stripe Payment Links. Due to the fact that OnZoom doesn’t trigger automatic payouts for these products, it means you will have to manually release payouts. Using these products will result in significant delays in payouts because OnZoom doesn’t trigger automatic payouts.
You can create a new account from scratch, or you can create an account which will be prepopulated with the information from an existing account when you are redirected to the Stripe onboarding process. In order to apply to a new account, regardless of whether information is pre-populated from an existing account or if it was created from scratch, it will have different properties compared to a standard-connect Stripe account. This will limit the ability to link the account to only the OnZoom or Zoom Events platforms, allowing Zoom to customize your experience.
Note: Having linked a Stripe account to your OnZoom host account and/or a Zoom Events hub is an option if you have previously created one, as you can select an account you have previously created and link it to your OnZoom host account and/or Zoom Events hub or to create a new account by starting from scratch.
Link a Stripe account during the host onboarding process
Note: Prior to applying to be an OnZoom host, you need to have your Zoom account approved in order to become an OnZoom host.
As soon as your application to become an OnZoom host has been approved you will be able to follow the onboarding process to create a new Stripe account and link it to your OnZoom host account.
Your OnZoom account will be configured as follows once your host application has been approved and your first time setup for your OnZoom account has been completed:
- Click on the Create and Link button to the right of the Stripe logo.
When the Stripe onboarding page appears, click the Continue button. - Type your e-mail address into the box.
- When you are done, click Continue.
- When you are done, click Continue. If you want to, you can also enter your billing information.
Note: If you do not add a billing address to your account with Stripe, you will not be able to create paid events. - Simply click the Create An Event button.
In order to link your Stripe account to your OnZoom account, you will receive an e-mail once the process is complete.
Link a Stripe account after the host onboarding process
You will be able to create a new Stripe account after you have completed the onboarding process and link it to your OnZoom host account.
After you have completed the OnZoom host onboarding process and have linked a Stripe account to your account, follow the steps below:

- You will find the Manage button in the top-right corner.

How to view results when linking Stripe to OnZoom

- Complete: It is possible to create paid events on OnZoom and receive payments from the sales of tickets.

Limitations for paid ticket registration with Stripe
A host can create a paid event on OnZoom and schedule it at any time.
Until 12 months prior to the scheduled date of the paid event, attendees can only register for the event by submitting a paid ticket. There will be a delay of at least 89 days after the event publication date before the registration for attendees paid tickets is open for accounts outside the United States.
When you set up a paid event through OnZoom’s online payment platform and Stripe is your chosen online payment platform, the paid ticket registration for your event won’t be available to attendees until 12 months before your event is webinar page. Here you will see a list of scheduled to take place.

How to manage billing
Update billing information
The following steps can be taken to update the billing information for your account:
- Sign into OnZoom by entering your email address and password.
- Next, click Manage in the top-right corner of the screen.
- You will be taken to a screen where you will find a menu called Billing Information.
- You will need to fill out the information under Your Address.
Note:If you don’t have a billing address on file you will not be able to create paid events and this is because you must provide a billing address. - You can save the changes by clicking Save.
How to manage your Stripe Dashboard
The Stripe Dashboard allows you to manage your Stripe account, manage payments as well as generate refunds, resolve disputes, and much more. At a glance, you will also be able to see important information regarding the activity of your account.
Fund capture
It is important to note that after you purchase a ticket with a credit card or debit card, the transaction remains pending for two days before funds can be collected. If there is a refund or cancellation during this time period, this feature must be activated so that you do not have to pay Stripe’s processing fees.
Note:
In the event a refund is issued, Stripe will charge you for the processing fees associated with the refund, even if the transaction is captured. The authorization process generally takes two days to complete, meaning that by the second day, the transaction has been approved by the credit card company or the bank that issued the credit card. In this two-day period of processing, the Attendee’s credit or debit card account will be credited with the purchase.
Approve or reject refunds
The refund request can be approved or denied from within OnZoom if it was submitted within 14 days after the event’s end date.
In the event of a refund request made between 15 and 30 days after the end of an event, you will have to sign into your Stripe account in order to process or reject the request.
View chargebacks
There is a chargeback when a debit or credit card holder requests a refund from the credit card company when he/she files a dispute with the issuer of the card.
Cardholders can question your payment for a variety of reasons with their card issueser, and hopefully, you can help resolve the case by responding to a chargeback. To protect yourself from fraudulent payments and disputes, it is important to follow some simple steps. Stripe has a feature called Dashboard where you can view any chargeback which has been received from your customers.
Note: For you to be able to reclaim your money, you must respond to a chargeback. As a result of not responding to a chargeback, you will forfeit the right to reclaim the chargedback funds, but you will be reimbursed by the customer.
Chargebacks are treated as disputes by Stripe, and you will be charged a $15.00 dispute fee per chargeback.
It is possible to get more information on chargebacks by visiting Stripe’s website.
View reports
There are two ways to view the reports: a summary report from the dashboard or a CSV file that contains an itemized report with all the transactions.
View United States sales taxes
Various taxes are levied in different parts of the country. Zoom Events US Taxes can provide you with specific details on indirect taxes applicable to your region if you visit their website.
If you purchase tickets from a seller located in the US and Canada, the ticket price will be treated separately from indirect taxes as if it were the price of the ticket sold. The purchaser will also be aware of any amount that must be added to the ticket price at the time of checkout, if tax needs to be collected. The tax will be collected and remitted by Zoom on your behalf after the transaction has taken place.
Notes:
- The application fee for a transaction in Stripe will be used by Zoom to collect tax on a transaction. If you go to your Stripe dashboard, you will find detailed information about the transactions which are applicable to sales tax, GST, and VAT. Essentially, the total transaction fees consist of Stripe processing fees, including any applicable taxes owed on Stripe processing fees, and Zoom fees (taxes collected during the transaction that Zoom will be responsible for collecting and remitting on your behalf).
- It is the responsibility of the host to determine and remit applicable indirect taxes in cases where Zoom is not required to collect and remit indirect taxes on prices charged to attendees.
How to follow the Stripe payout schedule
Note: There will typically be a delay of 7-14 days between the time your first transaction with Stripe is processed and settled in your Stripe account; you can do a test charge of $1.00 to help you set up your account sooner. If you haven’t started to sell tickets yet, you might want to do so 15 days before your event so as to avoid any additional holds on your first payment.
In terms of payout schedules, OnZoom events follow the following:
- Event: Following a successful event, a deposit will usually be made to your bank account within 7-8 days.
- Series: Your bank account will be credited with the funds deposited to it 7-8 days after the event has finished.
When Zoom releases the funds to you, it will be in your bank account within 1-2 business days after the event has ended. The funds are released 6 days after the event ends.
Note: It is possible that if you process refunds for a previous event to which you have already been paid out, the general payout timeframe mentioned above might not apply to your next corresponding event. Zoom should be contacted if you don’t receive your payout.
Stripe fees
In order to process a successful charge, Stripe charges a fee. This fee may vary depending on the country in which the transaction takes place.
| Accepted payment methods | include payment by credit card or debit card |
| Fees for Host | 2.9% plus $0.30 for every transaction*
