Online payments - Stripe
Stripe connects to your Plutio workspace through a one-time OAuth flow, and once connected, invoices can accept card payments directly. Payments process through your own Stripe account, so funds land in your bank account with no intermediary.
How Stripe payments work on invoices
When Stripe is enabled on an invoice, clients see a "Pay Now" button when they open the invoice link. Clicking the button opens a secure payment form where credit or debit card can be used. The payment processes through your Stripe account at Stripe's standard fees.
Apple Pay and Google Pay
Plutio does not currently show Apple Pay or Google Pay as separate payment buttons on invoice checkout. When Stripe is enabled, the invoice shows Pay Now and opens Plutio's Stripe card form for credit or debit card payment. ACH can also be enabled separately for eligible USD payments.
Payment confirmation
Once the payment clears, the invoice status updates to "paid" automatically. A receipt is generated and can be sent to the client based on your receipt settings. The payment event is logged in the invoice's activity history with the amount, date, and payment method recorded.
ACH through Stripe
Stripe also supports ACH (US bank transfer) payments with lower processing fees than card payments. ACH works with USD invoices and has a processing time of 3-5 business days. More details are covered on the ACH Payments page.
Because Stripe processes payments through your own account, there's no middleman holding funds, and clients pay directly from the invoice without leaving your branded portal.
