Take Card Payments With Stripe
For admins · Updated 23 Sep 2026
Customers pay by card into your business's own Stripe account, at your own Stripe rates. Deployr creates the account for you through Stripe, and Stripe pays out to your bank. Refunds and disputes are handled in Stripe.
Set It Up
- Go to Settings → Connections and find the Stripe card.
- Choose Set up Stripe Payments. Stripe opens to collect your business, identity and bank details.
- When you finish, Stripe brings you back to Deployr. The card shows Card Payments and Payouts as On once Stripe has checked everything.
- If Stripe still needs something, choose Finish Setup to go back to it, or Check Again to bring the card up to date.
How Customers Pay
- Customers pay in the customer portal. On a sent invoice with money owing, the Pay This Invoice panel offers a card button for the amount owed, beside your bank transfer details.
- They pay the invoice's balance in Australian dollars on Stripe's own payment page.
- When Stripe confirms the payment, Deployr records it on the invoice as a card payment, and the invoice moves to Part Paid or Paid.
- An invoice appears in the portal once it has been sent, so a draft or an approved invoice can't be paid there yet.
Disconnect
Choose Disconnect on the Stripe card. Customers then see bank transfer only. The Stripe account isn't closed: it stays under your own Stripe login, with its payments.
The invoice email doesn't carry a card link on its own. Its Pay Online button appears only when the invoice has a link under Payment Link on its Delivery & Payments tab.
A refund made in Stripe doesn't change the invoice in Deployr, and card payments aren't sent to Xero. Reconcile them in Xero from your Stripe payouts. Only admins can set up or disconnect Stripe; card payments are on every plan.
