How to accept online payments (Stripe)

One-time setup — connect Stripe so every invoice you send gets an automatic Pay Now link.

Steps

  1. Open Settings, then Integrations — From your account menu, open Settings and click the Integrations tab. Look for the "Accept Payments (Stripe)" card — that's where online payments are connected.
  2. Click Connect Payments — Click the Connect Payments button. This takes you to Stripe's own secure sign-up page — TurfTechAdvisor never sees or stores your card-processing details directly, Stripe handles that part end to end.
  3. Fill out Stripe's onboarding form — Enter your business information, identity details (SSN or EIN), and the bank account you want payouts deposited to. This is a one-time form; Stripe saves it for every future payment.
  4. Return to TurfTechAdvisor and finish if prompted — You'll be redirected back automatically. If Stripe still needs more information, the Integrations card will say "Finish Stripe onboarding" — click Continue Onboarding and pick up exactly where you left off.
  5. You're done — nothing else to turn on — Once the card shows you're connected, every invoice you email from then on automatically includes a "Pay this invoice" button. There's no extra toggle, no per-invoice setup, and it's available on every plan at no added monthly cost — you only pay the standard card-processing fee per transaction.
  6. Know what your customer sees — Your customer opens the emailed invoice, clicks Pay this invoice, and pays by card on a secure Stripe-hosted page. The invoice marks itself paid automatically the moment payment goes through. Growth and Pro customers using the customer portal also see a Pay Now button there.
