Take card payments with Stripe
Connect your own Stripe account so customers pay deposits and invoices by card from your link. The money goes straight to you.
In the app: Settings → Get paid online
Customers pay your invoices by card from the link you send them. The money goes into your own Stripe account, never through Quotebird’s.
Set it up
- Add your country and currency in your business profile if you haven’t.
- Open Get paid online and tap Set up payments.
- Stripe’s own form opens. Have these ready:
- a sign-in with two-step verification: a real phone number or an authenticator app;
- your business type;
- your date of birth and home address;
- an ID document, if Stripe asks for one;
- the bank account your money is paid into.
- When you’re done, the app shows Payments on.
The form is Stripe’s: Quotebird doesn’t see what you enter. Stripe Climate and Stripe Tax are optional; you can skip them. Setting up needs a connection.
The account’s status
| Status | What to do |
|---|---|
| Not set up | Tap Set up payments. |
| Not finished | Tap Finish setting up to carry on where you left off. |
| Payments on | You’re ready. Open Stripe dashboard takes you to your Stripe account. |
| Stripe needs more information | Tap Give Stripe the information before the date shown, or card payments pause. |
| Disconnected | Set up payments again. Past payments stay on their invoices. |
Until payments are on, drafts show a line Turn on online payments above Send. Tap the X to hide it on that phone.
What it costs
Stripe takes its own card fee from your Stripe account, and Quotebird takes a small share of each card payment. See Quotebird’s share and Stripe’s fee.
Jobs where you approached the customer
Stripe doesn’t allow door-to-door sales: a job where you approached the customer uninvited, like knocking on doors, must not be paid through Stripe. A visit the customer asked for is fine, even if they sign at their home. Keep a record of how the customer contacted you, like a message or a booking.
