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

  1. Add your country and currency in your business profile if you haven’t.
  2. Open Get paid online and tap Set up payments.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

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.
