GoHighLevel supports native integration with third-party payment gateway Stripe. By connecting Stripe to GoHighLevel, you can facilitate payments and transactions for your Agency account and sub-accounts.
Key Takeaways:
- Stripe charges fees starting from 2.9% + 30¢ on every transaction
- Facilitating the integration requires the Stripe account’s username and password

What Is the GoHighLevel Stripe Integration?
The GoHighLevel Stripe integration allows transactions to be made within the platform.
GoHighLevel does not have a native payment gateway; therefore, integrating with Stripe is necessary if you want to charge for your GoHighLevel products and services.
For example, if you have created a paid course in GoHighLevel, you will need Stripe to take the payments; or if you plan to sell GoHighLevel as SaaS, you will need Stripe to facilitate this.
To use Stripe with GoHighLevel, it is necessary to create and activate a Stripe account, and then connect it with the GoHighLevel platform (instructions included below).

What Can the GoHighLevel Stripe Integration Be Used for?
Processing Payments in Sub-Accounts
To process any transactions inside a GoHighLevel sub-account, you must connect with a payment gateway such as Stripe.
Examples of what you need Stripe for inside a sub-account include:
- Taking upfront payments for appointment bookings.
- Processing paid membership sites, courses, and community purchases.
- Taking subscription payments.
- Processing orders for products and services.
- Creating offers and promotions.
- Creating checkout pages in funnels.
Processing SaaS Payments
If you subscribe to the GoHighLevel Pro plan, you have the ability to brand and sell the GoHighLevel platform as SaaS (software as a service).
To create SaaS pricing plans, configure the plan features, and enable SaaS payouts from clients, you must have connected a Stripe account.
Enable Apple and Google Pay
Integrating GoHighLevel with Stripe allows Google Pay and Apple Pay options to be displayed alongside the credit card option on any order forms you create in the platform.
This gives the customer a better and more convenient choice of payment methods which increases the likelihood of them completing the transaction.
Text2Pay
The Text2Pay feature allows you to generate and send payment links via text. Rather than sending an email or a physical invoice, Text2Pay offers a more convenient way for clients and customers to pay their bills.
Import Existing Price Plans
If you have already created price plans and products in your Stripe account, you can import them into GoHighLevel for use and editing. This feature can be used for recurring charges and subscription price plans only.
How to Integrate Stripe with a GoHighLevel Sub-Account (Step by Step)
