Stripe, the processor behind HubSpot Payments, is updating its Services Agreement (effective January 6, 2027) and Privacy Policy (effective November 20, 2026). HubSpot's in-app Product Updates list the announcement as live. Our research says keeping a HubSpot Payments account open past January 6, 2027 counts as acceptance, with no manual opt-in. No portal feature changes. We cover who is affected, the listed hubs and tiers, the review steps, and what the in-app entry does not show: seats, fees, transaction limits, and geographic eligibility.

Who it's for: businesses collecting money with HubSpot Payments, RevOps and ops owners of payment-stack docs, finance and legal reviewers, and admins who need to flag this for the payments account owner. If the portal does not use HubSpot Payments, this update does not apply.

Our research first covered this on November 5, 2026. Here's where it stands as of our Nov 5, 2026 check. HubSpot's in-app product updates confirm a live announcement, both automatic effective dates, and keep-account-open acceptance. Stripe's Privacy Policy page confirms the November 20, 2026 update. HubSpot's Payments Terms of Use name Stripe as the payment processor.
