Photography Shop with Stripe & PayPal — Direct Payouts

With Pixalo, receive your earnings directly to your Stripe or PayPal account — no platform intermediary, no waiting, no hidden fees.

Why Platform Payments Cause Problems for Photographers

Platform holds your money

Earnings are first collected by the platform before being forwarded to you.

Delayed payouts

Between sale and payout, days or even weeks can pass.

Unclear fee structures

Between platform fees, transaction costs, and checkout surcharges, you lose track.

No direct customer relationship

The platform stands between you and your customers — even on payment matters.

Dependency on platform payment cycles

You have no control over when and how your earnings are paid out.

Your Advantages with Direct Stripe & PayPal Integration

Pixalo routes payments directly to your own account — full control, full transparency.

Direct to Your Account

Payments from parents go directly to your Stripe or PayPal account — Pixalo never touches your money.

Instant Payouts

No waiting for platform payout cycles. Your money is available as soon as your payment provider processes it.

Full Transparency

See every transaction in your Stripe or PayPal dashboard. No hidden fees, no unclear deductions — just clear numbers.

Your Customer Data

You own the customer relationship and transaction data — not the platform. Important for accounting and customer service.
