Frequently asked questions

How do I collect payment on a sign-up?

Connect your own Stripe account and Jupiter Signup collects the fee as people sign up, for a flat 2% with no monthly plan. See the guide on collecting payment for a class.

Do I need to build the form myself?

No. You describe the sign-up in a sentence and Jupiter Signup builds the whole page, then you edit anything by chatting. No form builder to learn.

Can I limit spots, take a deposit, or close on a deadline?

Yes to all three, each is a guide here. Capacity, waitlists, deposits, class packs, and sign-up deadlines are built in and enforced on the server.

What does Jupiter Signup cost?

There is no monthly plan. It takes a flat 2% of what you collect, on top of Stripe's normal processing fee. A sign-up that does not charge is free.
