Why Onespot Uses Stripe
Onespot uses Stripe to process all payments in your app. This allows schools to accept payments securely while keeping the experience simple for families.
What is Stripe?
Stripe is a global payment platform that helps businesses:
- Accept online payments (cards and bank payments)
- Manage billing and recurring payments
- Handle transactions securely
It is used by many organizations worldwide to process payments reliably.
Why Onespot Uses Stripe
Secure Payment Handling
Payment information is processed by Stripe.
- Stripe is PCI-compliant (industry standard for payment security)
- Uses encryption and secure infrastructure
- Designed to reduce exposure to sensitive payment data
Stripe is widely used by companies around the world, including
Google, Airbnb, and Instacart.
Stripe has reported processing over $1 trillion in payments annually, reflecting its scale as a global payment platform.
What this means for you: Payments in Onespot go through the same trusted infrastructure used by large, established platformsโnot a small or unknown system. Stripe provides the security and payment processing, but schools and users should still follow best practices (like using secure devices and strong passwords).
Payments Are Processed by Stripe
When a parent enters payment details:
- The information is sent to Stripe to process the payment
- Schools can view and manage payment methods through Stripe
- Onespot uses Stripe to complete transactions
Important: Onespot does not directly process or store full payment details. Payments are handled through Stripeโs system.
Supports School Billing Features
Stripe allows Onespot to provide flexible billing tools, including:
- Recurring tuition payments (weekly, monthly, etc.)
- One-time payments (fees, events, extras)
- Credit card and bank (ACH) payments
Reliable Payment Infrastructure
Stripe is built to handle online payments at scale.
- Used by many businesses globally
- Regularly updated for security and compliance

Important Note
- Payment details are processed through Stripe
- Onespot does not act as the payment processor
- Stripe handles the transaction and returns the result to Onespot
Using Stripe allows Onespot to offer secure, reliable, and flexible payments without schools needing to manage payment systems themselves.
