If I make the switch, what happens to Stripe or PayPal?

Stripe will remain connected to the Kajabi account and continue to process any existing residual payments (see the next question for details). However, once you switch to Kajabi Payments and enable it on all of the offers, payments will come through the Kajabi Dashboard, where you can manage payments and payouts. PayPal operates as a separate payment processor and will remain unaffected by the switch.
