Enabling online payments

Stripe Connect is a payment processing service that enables businesses to accept online payments securely and easily. In this article, we’ll walk you through setting up Stripe Connect with your Stagent account, so you can automagically receive payments on your invoices.

1. Go to your invoice settings

Click on your profile icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen. From the drop-down menu, select 'Team settings'. On the settings page, go to Invoice settings under the Documents section, where you can begin setting up the Stripe Connect integration.

2. Set up Stripe Connect

At the top of the Invoice settings page, you’ll see the Stripe Connect section. Click ‘Set up Stripe Connect’ to continue. You will be redirected to the Stripe portal, where you can complete their simple registration process to start receiving digital payments for your outgoing invoices. This process takes approximately 15 minutes to complete.

3. Send your invoices

Once setup, Stagent will automatically generate a payment link on all outgoing invoices, making it easy for your clients to pay directly. Stagent tracks incoming payments, updates the invoice status dynamically, and works seamlessly with deposits. You and your team members will also receive notifications of successful payments (if enabled).

When sending an invoice, you have the option to disable Stripe Connect for that specific invoice. Simply toggle off ‘Payable with Stripe’ to disable it for that instance.

Additional fees

Every charge made through Stripe Connect incurs a small transaction fee, which includes Stripe’s processing fees and Stagent’s application fee. Stagent’s application fee is automatically deducted as a percentage of the total charge: 1.8% (for a $10 charge, this amounts to 18¢). To understand how Stripe calculates part of the variable fees, please refer to the this page.
