Connect Stripe to start accepting card payments on your invoices.
Once Stripe is connected, a Pay Now button will appear on your invoices and within your invoice emails to clients.
Your clients are then able to pay your invoices online using their credit card or other methods such as Google Pay, Apple Pay, Klarna and Afterpay, depending on the options you set within Stripe.
If you have an existing Stripe account you can use this straight away. If you don’t yet have a Stripe account, you can create one after hitting the Connect Stripe button and Stripe will walk you through the process.
