Make paying an invoice easier
A secure Pay Now link lets customers pay online by card from their email or your customer portal. Verified Stripe payments update the matching invoice balance and payment history.
Because payments run on the same invoices and customer records as your invoicing and your scheduling and crews, the field and the office see the same paid status.
Free-plan online payments cost 3.9% + 30¢, including the 1% platform fee. Growth and Pro online payments use Stripe's standard 2.9% + 30¢ with no platform fee. Funds settle through your connected Stripe account — TurfTechAdvisor records payments, it doesn't hold your money.

Send an online payment link after the job
Send a branded invoice with a secure Stripe Connect payment link after completing the work. Customers can open the link on their own device and pay online by card. This is online invoice payment, not an integrated reader or swipe/tap checkout.
- Secure online invoice payment links
- Customers pay from their own browser
- Connect your business's Stripe account first
Online Pay Now on every invoice
With Stripe Connect set up, eligible invoices can carry a Pay Now button. Customers pay online by card from their emailed invoice or your customer portal, using the same invoice and balance.
- Stripe Connect Pay Now button on invoices
- Customers pay from email or the customer portal
- Online payments against the existing invoice
Money lands in your own accounts
TurfTechAdvisor records the payment — it doesn't hold your funds. Online card payments settle through your own connected Stripe account, subject to Stripe's payout schedule.
- Online payments settle to your Stripe account
- Payout timing follows your Stripe account
- TurfTechAdvisor never holds your funds
Paid status updates automatically
Verified Stripe invoice payments update the matching invoice balance and payment history automatically. Full payment clears the balance; partial payments reduce it. Ambiguous or excess payments remain available for review.
- Verified Stripe payments matched to the invoice
- Method and reference number captured
- Review exceptions rather than guessing a match
One system from quote to paid
Online card payments work from the invoices you already build in TurfTechAdvisor, which come from the jobs and quotes you already manage. Quoting, the job, the invoice, and online payment history live in one place.
- Card payments built on your existing invoices
- Quote → job → invoice → paid in one app
- No copying customers or amounts between tools
Cards are an option, not a requirement
Online card payments don't lock out customers who still pay by check or cash. Manually record those payments against an invoice with the reference your office recognizes, keeping them distinct from automatically recorded Stripe payments.
- Record check and cash payments too
- Method and reference on every payment
- All payments in one consistent ledger

Frequently asked questions
Does TurfTechAdvisor offer integrated card-reader payments?
Customers can pay online on their own device through Stripe Connect invoice links or the customer portal.
How do online card payments work?
Connect your business's Stripe account to enable secure Pay Now links on eligible invoices. Customers pay online by card from their emailed invoice or your customer portal, and verified payments update the matching invoice balance and payment history automatically.
Where does the money go?
Online card payments settle through your own connected Stripe account, subject to Stripe's payout schedule. TurfTechAdvisor records the payment against the invoice — it doesn't hold your funds.
Is the payment recorded against the right invoice automatically?
Yes, when the Stripe online payment carries a verified invoice link. TurfTechAdvisor records the amount and method against that invoice, reduces the balance for partial payments, and marks it paid when the balance is cleared. Ambiguous, excess, refunded, or reversed activity remains visible for review rather than being forced onto the wrong balance. Record check and cash payments in the same place.
How do processor fees and payout deposits appear in QuickBooks?
When QuickBooks Online is connected and its accounts are mapped, TurfTechAdvisor keeps the customer payment, processor fee, tip, refund or reversal, and payout settlement as separate accounting components. This lets you compare the gross amount paid with the net amount deposited instead of changing the invoice to make the payout match.
Do I need QuickBooks to accept online payments?
No. Stripe Connect online payments work from the invoices you already create in TurfTechAdvisor. QuickBooks Online sync is optional; quoting, jobs, invoices, and online payment history remain in TurfTechAdvisor.
What does it cost to take payments?
On TurfTechAdvisor's free plan, Stripe online card payments cost 3.9% + 30¢ per payment, which includes a 1% platform fee. On Growth and Pro there's no platform fee, so online payments run at Stripe's standard 2.9% + 30¢. TurfTechAdvisor has a free plan with no credit card required; see the pricing page for plan details.
Can customers still pay by check or cash?
Yes. Card payments are an option, not a requirement. You can record check and cash payments against an invoice with the reference your office recognizes. If the payment syncs to QuickBooks, TurfTechAdvisor uses that trimmed manual reference and does not expose processor-generated IDs as the reference.
