Setting up online payments with Stripe

Let clients pay invoices online with credit/debit cards via Stripe.

Connecting Stripe

  • Go to Settings > Integrations.
  • Click "Connect Stripe".
  • Follow the Stripe onboarding flow to link your account (or create a new one).
  • Once connected, a payment link is automatically added to every invoice.
  • How clients pay

    When a client receives an invoice by email, they see a "Pay now" button. Clicking it takes them to a secure Stripe payment page where they can pay by card.

    Payment confirmation

  • When a client pays, the invoice status updates to "Paid" automatically.
  • You receive a notification.
  • The payment appears in your Stripe dashboard and KAIRO's revenue analytics.
  • Fees

    Stripe charges standard processing fees (typically 1.4% + 20p for UK cards). These are deducted from the payment before it reaches your bank account.

    Tips

  • Encourage online payment to improve cash flow.
  • Stripe payouts typically arrive in your bank within 2 working days.
  • You can still record manual payments (cash, bank transfer) in KAIRO.
