# Stripe Managed Payments

> Use the merchant of record (MoR) solution from Stripe in FunnelFox to offload tax compliance, fraud prevention, disputes, and post-purchase support to Stripe.

[Stripe Managed Payments](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/managed-payments) is a merchant of record solution from Stripe
that handles indirect tax compliance, fraud prevention, disputes, and
transaction-level customer support on your behalf.

You can enable Managed Payments per Checkout element in FunnelFox, so it can run
alongside your regular Stripe checkout in the same project.

## How it works

Once enabled, Stripe takes over key parts of the payment lifecycle for
checkouts that use Managed Payments:

* **Merchant of record**: Stripe acts as the merchant of record. Customers
  interact with Stripe Link at checkout, on receipts, and for post-purchase
  support.
* **Indirect tax compliance**: When a payment completes, Stripe withholds
  applicable indirect taxes (sales tax, VAT, GST). Managed Payments covers post-sale
  tax compliance across 80+ countries.
* **Fraud prevention**: Stripe applies real-time fraud detection that
  automatically blocks fraudulent transactions.
* **Dispute handling**: Stripe manages disputes for you using automated
  tools and manual review. If Stripe decides to counter a dispute, it
  submits evidence on your behalf without contacting you for more.
* **Customer support**: Stripe handles transaction-level customer support
  for purchases made through Managed Payments.
* **Prebuilt checkout**: Managed Payments is delivered through Stripe's Prebuilt
  checkout. Customers can pay with cards, Apple Pay, and Link, plus any
  local methods configured for your account.

<Warning>
  - Managed Payments doesn't support upsell for now.

  - [Cancellation funnels](/dashboard/funnels#cancellation-funnels) don't
    support Managed Payments for now.
</Warning>

## Setup

You need an active [Stripe integration](/integrations/payments/stripe)

<Steps>
  <Step title="Enable Managed Payments in Stripe">
    Go to the
    [Managed Payments settings](https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/managed-payments)
    in your Stripe Dashboard and enable Managed Payments. During the
    flow:

    1. Review your products and assign each one a category eligible for
       Managed Payments when Stripe prompts you.
    2. Select **Prebuilt checkout** when choosing a checkout type.
    3. Click **Continue** until Managed Payments is enabled.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the tax code on new products">
    If you add new products after enabling Managed Payments, make sure each one uses a
    tax code eligible for Managed Payments.

    Learn more about Stripe's
    [product tax code requirements](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/managed-payments/eligibility#product-tax-code-requirements).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review your tax settings in Stripe">
    Managed Payments handles indirect tax compliance, so your Stripe tax settings
    must be accurate. Go to
    [Settings > Tax](https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/tax) in your Stripe Dashboard and
    adjust individual products if needed.
