Stripe Checkout alternative

A Stripe Checkout alternative that keeps your Stripe account

Stripe is a great processor. Its hosted checkout is a payment form. Chargedeck puts a page built to sell in front of the Stripe account you already have: order bumps, baskets, bookings, a storefront and Discord roles, with the money still landing in your Stripe.

Free for 7 days. No card. 0% of your sales, on every plan.

The short version

You do not replace Stripe. You connect your own Stripe account to Chargedeck, and every payment is still created and settled there. What changes is the page your customer sees and everything you can do around it.

If one plain payment link is all you need, Stripe Payment Links is free and enough. Chargedeck is for sellers who want more than a form: a branded page, a store, community perks and the option of PayPal or Square.

What you gain

What Chargedeck adds in front of Stripe

All of it runs on your own Stripe account.

A storefront for everything you sell

A link-in-bio store with swipe, grid and list layouts, drops with countdowns, stock limits and members-only items.

One basket across your products

Buyers add several of your products and pay once, with prices verified on the server.

Order bumps you set up in seconds

Type a name, a blurb and a price. The offer appears above the pay button on that page.

Bookings built into checkout

A date and time picker for calls and sessions, paid in the same step.

Discord roles on purchase

A one-click bot that gives buyers a role when they pay and posts products with a Buy button.

Buyer accounts and rewards

Buyers get an account with their order history and earn points they can spend at participating stores.

Which one fits

When Stripe on its own is enough

Stay on Stripe-hosted checkout if

You need a form, not a storefront

  • You sell one or two things through a simple link
  • You do not want any monthly fee
  • You have a developer and want to build the rest yourself
Add Chargedeck if

The checkout is how you grow

  • You want a branded store behind one link
  • You sell to a community on Discord, Instagram or TikTok
  • You want PayPal or Square as well as Stripe
  • You would rather configure than code
How it connects

Your Stripe, your keys, your payouts

Chargedeck is non-custodial. A buyer's payment goes from their card or bank straight into your own processor account, and your processor pays you out on its normal schedule. The money never sits in a Chargedeck balance, so there is nothing for us to take a percentage of.

Refunds, disputes and payouts stay where they are today: in your Stripe dashboard. If you ever leave Chargedeck, your customers, payments and payout history are still in your own Stripe account.

FAQ

Stripe Checkout alternative: common questions

Do I have to leave Stripe to use Chargedeck?

No. Chargedeck sits in front of the Stripe account you already have. You connect your own Stripe keys, charges are created in your Stripe account, and Stripe pays you out exactly as it does today.

Does Chargedeck add a fee on top of Stripe?

Chargedeck charges a flat monthly fee from $9.99 and 0% of your sales. Stripe still charges its normal processing fee on each payment, which is between you and Stripe.

Is Stripe Checkout or Stripe Payment Links enough on their own?

Often, yes. If you only need a single payment link and you are happy with a Stripe-hosted page, Stripe Payment Links has no monthly fee and does the job. Chargedeck earns its fee when you want a storefront, a basket across products, bookings, Discord roles, rewards points, or PayPal and Square alongside Stripe.

Can I also take PayPal or Square payments?

Yes. A Chargedeck account can connect your own PayPal Business or Square account as its processor, and you can offer pay by bank as an extra option. Stripe-hosted pages only take payments through Stripe.

Can developers use Chargedeck instead of the Stripe Checkout API?

Yes. The Chargedeck API creates a hosted checkout for a cart total from your own site, redirects the buyer back to your success URL and confirms the order with a signed webhook. The same integration works whether the seller is on Stripe, PayPal or Square.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every new account gets 7 days with everything unlocked, and you do not enter a card to start. After the trial, selling needs a plan from $9.99 a month. Your link-in-bio page stays free forever.
