Accepting Invoice Payments via Card

You can connect your Stripe Account within ExpensePlus to enable invoice customers to pay invoices by credit card, debit card or Google Pay.

• It provides customers with a simple and convenient way to make payments.
• The invoice status within ExpensePlus automatically updates when invoices are paid, saving you time.
• Customers can download receipts, removing the need to manually send emailed receipts.

If you connect your Stripe Account within ExpensePlus, invoices can still be paid via bank transfer (and cash or cheque if you allow this).

How to connect your Stripe Account

Within the Invoice Settings screen, click the 'connect' button to the right of an invoice profile to connect it to your Stripe Account.

Follow the instructions in the popup to connect your Stripe Account.

Once connected, you will see this on the Invoice Settings screen.

If you have more than one invoice profile, you can connect multiple profiles to the same Stripe Account.

How do customers pay invoices via card?

Once you have connected your invoice profiles to Stripe, payment links will automatically get included in the invoice emails that are sent, and in the invoices themselves.

When the customer clicks the payment link, they will automatically be taken to a payments page, where payment can be made in just a few clicks.

If an invoice has been part paid, the payment amount shown when the payment link is clicked by your customer will automatically be updated to be for the amount that is outstanding (not the full invoice amount).

Once paid successfully, the customer is taken to a confirmation screen, where they can download a copy of their invoice receipt.

Data Processing and Fees

Stripe is a third-party service and data shared with Stripe is governed by their Privacy Policy. Payments made are subject to a 2.2% + 20p transaction fee for UK Cards. This is made up of two parts, a transaction fee that is charged by Stripe (and covers the card processing fees) as well as a 1% app fee that ExpensePlus receives.
