Invoices and pay links · Money
Bill a customer, get paid online, and have it be an ordinary sale.
A numbered invoice emailed or texted with a link they pay on their own phone — or a card keyed over the counter — landing in the same books as the day's takings.
What you get
Numbered, dated and due, sent by email or by text, paid through a link with its own token and nothing to sign up for.
The database recomputes every total and refuses a tax rate that is not yours, so an invoice cannot be talked into a number the books disagree with.
A card taken over the phone is keyed into Stripe's own form — never into a field on the invoice, never into a note.
A paid invoice becomes an ordinary sale: same reports, same accounting export, same refunds.
Naming a price is money authority, so this sits behind its own permission rather than every staff login.
How it runs
An account customer, start to finish.
- 1
The order is built as an invoice, with its lines, its tax and a due date.
- 2
It goes out by email or text, carrying a link.
- 3
They pay it on their phone — or ring and read out a card, which is keyed straight into Stripe.
- 4
It posts as a sale that day and reconciles with everything else that sold.
The questions people ask
- What does the customer have to do?
- Open a link and pay. No account, no sign-in, nothing to install.
- Can we key a card ourselves?
- Yes, over the phone, into Stripe's own card form. The number never lands anywhere we own.
- What happens once it is paid?
- It becomes an ordinary sale, because that is what it is. Reporting, the accounting export and the refund path all treat it exactly like a sale at the counter.
