Get paid the day the invoice is sent.
Connect Stripe in settings. Send an invoice. The customer pays through a one-click portal link. Money lands in your bank, your invoice marks paid, and the per-job P&L updates, no manual reconciliation.
How payment collection works
Connect your Stripe account once from Settings → Payments. The invoice you send carries a "Pay Now" button that opens a secure Stripe-hosted checkout where the customer pays by card or bank payment. A card payment flips your invoice's status to paid the same minute; a bank payment takes up to 4 business days to clear, and the invoice marks paid the moment it does. Stripe then pays the money out to your bank.
No clipboard re-typing of confirmation numbers. No "did the check clear" follow-up call. The invoice page in the app shows the payment with the Stripe charge ID, the date, and the method, so you have a clean audit trail when the customer asks for a receipt.
- Stripe Connect, your Stripe account, your money, your bank.
- Card and bank payments through the Stripe-hosted checkout (Apple Pay and Google Pay included).
- Invoice status flips to paid automatically (no manual reconciliation).
- Per-job P&L updates the same minute the payment lands.
- Stripe charge ID + date + method retained on the invoice for audit.
What ships today vs. what's coming
Stripe is live today, that's the payment rail behind every paid invoice in Bit & Grain. PayPal is coming later. Venmo is not in the roadmap.
If you've been on a tool that promised Stripe, PayPal, and Venmo and shipped only one, that's the kind of marketing fudge we don't do. We ship Stripe today, PayPal comes later, and we don't promise Venmo because we're not building it.
- Stripe (card and bank payments), live today.
- PayPal, coming later.
- Venmo, not in roadmap (intentionally not promised).
What it costs
Stripe bills its processing fee to you directly, on Stripe's own terms. Bit & Grain's fee comes out of each payment before it reaches your Stripe account. Refund a payment and we refund our fee.
Payment fees are listed separately from your subscription and change only with 30 days' notice.
- Card payments: Stripe's fee (2.9% + 30¢ for US cards, paid to Stripe) plus Bit & Grain's 0.5%, never more than $25 a payment.
- Bank payments: Stripe's 0.8% (max $5) plus our 0.5% (max $5), so never more than $10.
- Zelle, cash and check: free.
