Updated today

Simply enable online payments and, when an invoice is sent to a client, a 'Pay with credit card' button will show when the client opens the invoice.

An invoice with online payments enabled can also be paid via stripe from the practice side.


Adding a 'Pay with credit card' button to invoices

To make it easier for your clients and contacts to pay you online, you can add a 'Pay with credit card' button to your invoices. Here's how:

  1. Go to Settings and then Invoices.

  2. Set 'Enable online payments for invoices' to On.

  3. Choose Stripe as your payment method for credit card payments. Ensure that you have already set up your Stripe integration.

After following these steps, all online invoices will include a 'Pay with credit card' button.


Sending an invoice for online payment

Once you've created an invoice, you can send it to your client so that they can pay you online. Here's how:

  1. Click Email Invoice.

  2. Add a message and then click Send.

Alternatively, under Actions you can click Copy public link. You must click Mark as sent before sending the invoice so that the status of the invoice can be updated to Awaiting Payment from Draft. You can now share the invoice link with the client.


How a client can make an online payment

After receiving and opening an invoice a client can follow these steps to pay with credit card:


1. Click Pay with credit card in the top right corner of the screen.

2. Select to pay by Card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Paying by card will require entering the relevant credit card details.

3. Enter billing information and click Pay amount.

The successful payment will be applied to the invoice automatically.


Paying an invoice with online payments enabled from the practice side

To pay an invoice from the practice side:

1. Go to the Invoices tab and open the relevant invoice.

2. In the top right of the screen click Pay.

3. On the drop down list, beneath the greyed-out heading of Stripe, click Credit card.

Please note that Stripe being greyed-out on the drop down list does not mean that Stripe is unavailable or not working. This is simply a heading and 'Credit card' and 'Terminal' listed below it are the Stripe payment options.

4. Enter the amount and the client's card details or select a saved card. Once you've ensured the client has authorised the payment, click Pay.
