Stripe integration: accepting credit cards for lower fees in Primer

When companies like Primer provide Stripe credit card processing in their software, we are given a choice:

  1. Pass through Stripe’s processing rates to your users.

  2. Add a markup and earn a portion of each transaction

We choose the first option and don't add a markup to our Stripe integration. What does your art software choose?

Compare Primer to Artlogic Pay or ARTERNAL Pay and you'll see lower fees on US domestic credit cards. The comparison below is based on rates published on the Artlogic and Arternal websites in July 2026:

Here’s how our Stripe integration works. Easily generate customized payment links with images and gallery branding. You choose the amount, whether it's for a deposit, payment in full, or includes an additional processing fee. Primer automatically records payments, closes sales, and creates reminders when clients pay. This integration is offered at no extra monthly cost from Primer to all users, but standard Stripe processing fees apply when you accept a payment.

Whether you need to get paid quickly for an artwork sale or need charge for extras like shipping and framing, the Stripe integration makes it easy for you to collect.
