How to connect Stripe
1
Go to Invoices
Navigate to Clients → Invoices in the sidebar.
2
Find the Digital Payments banner
At the top of the Invoices page, you’ll see a “Digital Payments Not Enabled” banner.

3
Complete Stripe onboarding
Click Complete Onboarding on the banner. You’ll be redirected to Stripe to set up your account.
4
Finish Stripe setup
Log in to your Stripe account (or create one), then complete the required onboarding steps. Stripe will ask for business details, bank info, and identity verification.
5
Done!
Once Stripe onboarding is complete, all new invoices will automatically include a Pay Now payment link.
What happens when a client pays
- Client clicks the Pay Now link in the invoice email
- They’re taken to a secure Stripe-hosted payment page
- After payment, the invoice is automatically marked as Paid in Cashflowy
- The bank transaction (when it arrives) can be automatically matched to the invoice
Stripe fees apply. Stripe charges standard processing fees (typically 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction). These are deducted from the payment before it reaches your bank account. Cashflowy does not charge any additional fees on top of Stripe’s.
