What it costs in Chicago

Pricing does not change by city. Plans start at $49.00 per month plus a 0.75% platform fee on card volume. Stripe's own processing fees are charged separately and disclosed at checkout, so there are no blended rates hiding a markup.

Payouts and timezone

Your account is set to America/Chicago by default, so daily reporting matches your trading day. Payouts land in the bank account you connect during onboarding.
