Before you start

  • The customer has access to the portal or invoice link.
  • Stripe is connected if card payment is expected.

What you'll do

A customer will open the invoice, pay it, and know what to check if the payment does not show up right away.

Do this

  1. 1

    Open the invoice link

    From the customer portal or invoice email, open the invoice.

  2. 2

    Review the balance due

    Make sure the invoice total and payment amount look correct.

  3. 3

    Submit the payment

    Enter the card details or use the available saved payment method.

  4. 4

    Wait for the confirmation screen

    The customer should see a payment confirmation once the payment is accepted.

Fastest fix first

  1. 1

    Payment went through but invoice still looks open?

    Refresh once and check again. If it still looks open, confirm Stripe is connected and no payment errors were returned.

  2. 2

    Card failed?

    Have the customer retry with the exact card details and check for any decline message shown on screen.
