Turn on online payments

Online payments let your clients pay an invoice by card or bank transfer with a tap — which means you get paid faster and chase less.

You'll connect ServiceYak's secure payments (powered by Stripe) so a “Pay now” button appears on the invoices you send.

Before you start

  • Your business details, to verify the account.
  • The bank account details where you'd like your payouts to land.

Step by step

  1. Open Settings → Integrations. Go to Settings and find Payments under Integrations.
  2. Start setup. Tap Set up payments to begin connecting your account.
  3. Verify your details. Follow the secure Stripe steps to confirm your business and add the bank account your payouts land in.
  4. Finish. Once approved, online payments switch on and your invoices include a Pay now option.

Tips

  • Payments are handled securely by Stripe — card and bank details never touch ServiceYak's servers.
  • Only owners and admins can set up payments for the business.
  • Verification can take a little while on Stripe's end; you'll see the status update once it's active.

What happens next

With payments on, your final milestone is collecting your first online payment — getting paid.

Common questions

Is it safe?

Yes. Payments run through Stripe, a leading global payments provider, and ServiceYak never stores your clients' card details.

When do I get the money?

Payments are paid out to your connected bank account on Stripe's payout schedule.
