Nothing is charged before then. Card processing is Stripe’s, billed to your own Stripe account.

The month is an example, and you set your own prices. Card processing is shown at Stripe’s standard US card rate, 2.9% + 30¢ a charge as of October 20, 2026 on Stripe’s pricing page; your own Stripe account sets the rate you pay.
Where the money goes
You are the merchant. A client pays you, through Stripe, into your own Stripe account, and your money never sits with us on the way through. A client pays exactly the price an instructor lists, and nothing is added to it.
Stripe bills its fee to you, and any 1099-K is issued in your name. If you teach at a studio that keeps a share of what you sell there, that share is taken from the same payment and passes through us to the studio, the one part of a booking that does. What a refund does with each of those is on the terms page.
If the price changes
You will hear before any change applies, and a change never reaches a booking that has already been made.
A booking is charged at the price in force when the client books, and keeps that price whatever Palaestral charges afterwards.
