Overview

Talview integrates with Stripe, a leading global payment platform, to enable smooth and secure payment collection for exams, assessments, and certifications. With this integration:
  • Candidates can pay seamlessly through Stripe’s hosted checkout.
  • Talview automatically tracks payment status and updates candidate bookings.
  • Stripe enables local-currency payments for candidates, while Talview receives settlements in USD.

1. How the Integration Works

a. Booking & Payment Flow

  1. Candidate Books an Exam → Candidate selects the exam slot on Talview.
  2. Payment via Stripe Checkout → Candidate is redirected to a Stripe-hosted checkout page.
  3. Transaction Completion
    • Payment Successful → Stripe confirms the payment; Talview marks the booking as confirmed.
    • Payment Failed → Candidate can retry payment with another method on the same page.
  4. Talview Updates Booking → Stripe web hooks send real-time payment status updates to Talview.

b. Taxes & Compliance

  • Stripe does not act as Merchant of Record.
  • Stripe can display prices inclusive of tax (for clarity to candidates), but tax calculation and remittance remain Talview’s responsibility.
  • Automated tax calculation or remittance is not enabled in this setup; tax-related configurations depend on the organization’s internal setup.

2. Supported Countries & Payment Methods

Countries Supported

Stripe supports transactions from 190 + countries, with localized payment and currency options (subject to regional regulations).
