Accept card payments
Once card payments are on, every invoice you send carries a Pay button. The customer pays on their phone, and the invoice marks itself paid. No chasing, no “the check’s in the mail.”
Connect with Stripe
Section titled “Connect with Stripe”You’ll need to be an owner or admin. Go to Settings → Payments and click Connect with Stripe. Stripe runs the sign-up itself: your bank details, an ID check, business info. It takes a few minutes, and the money from card payments lands in your Stripe account, not ours.
The page always tells you where things stand in plain words: whether you stopped partway (nothing’s lost, you pick up where you left off), Stripe needs one more document, they’re still verifying, or “Payments are live.”
See where your money is
Section titled “See where your money is”The money from card payments lives in your Stripe account, and that account has its own dashboard: payouts on the way, your balance, any disputes. There’s no separate Stripe password to remember. Once setup is finished, Open Stripe dashboard appears on the same Payments page and signs you straight in, in its own tab so Settings stays where you left it. Every sign-in link is minted fresh for that one visit and never stored.
The other ways you get paid
Section titled “The other ways you get paid”On the same page, Other ways to get paid covers everything that isn’t a card:
- Cash (in person)
- Check: who to make it payable to, and a mailing address if you want
- Venmo: your handle
- Zelle: your email or phone
Whatever you enable is printed as instructions on the customer’s copy of every invoice. These you mark paid yourself when the money lands. Thalermark can’t see your Venmo, only your Stripe.
What the customer sees
Section titled “What the customer sees”Their invoice link shows the invoice, a Pay $X button (“Secure card payment via Stripe”), and “Or pay directly:” with your offline methods. After a card payment the page updates itself: paid, still clearing, or “nothing was charged, try again” if the card was declined.
