FAQ
I have an issue with my transactions. What should I do?
Ecwid does not process any transactions itself or participate in money transfer, so we don't have any access to transaction details on our side and have no access to your Stripe payments. If you experience any issues with money receiving, please contact Stripe support.
Where do I find information on my transactions and transfers?
When a customer pays for an order using Stripe, the money goes to your Stripe account. You can see the transaction ID in the order details in your Ecwid admin, My sales → Orders. Click on the transaction link to view more details in your Stripe account.
Can I save the customer card details and charge it later?
Yes, you can do it with Stripe on a paid Ecwid plan. To enable this option, go to your Ecwid admin → Payment → Stripe and click the toggle next to the “Save credit card details for later” option.
After that, when a customer places an order in your store with Stripe, they will be saved in your Stripe dashboard where you can charge them anytime later using the “+ Create Payment” link.
When will I receive my payouts?
In Stripe, you receive payouts according to your payout schedule. Typically the first payout for a new account happens with a 7-day delay (after the first successful payment), though the waiting period may vary. Read more about payouts on Stripe's website.
Can I sell CBD with Stripe?
No, you can't. Still, you can sell CBD products with Ecwid.
