Who handles transactions, taxes, and payment disputes on Fika?

Written By Benjamin McBrayer

Because Fika uses Stripe Connect, you are the Merchant of Record for all transactions with your readers. This means:

  • You are responsible for fulfilling the benefits you promise in your tiers

  • You are responsible for handling disputes and chargebacks raised by your subscribers

  • You are responsible for your own tax obligations (VAT, income tax, etc.)

  • Fika is not a party to the transaction between you and your readers

This is explained in full in Fika's Terms of Use.
