Invoicing

Send the invoice. Get paid by card.

Connect your own Stripe account once. Every invoice can then carry a payment link: your client pays on a Stripe page, with no account to create, and the money goes straight to you. Crewnly takes no fee and never holds your money.

From invoice to paid in four steps

Set it up once. After that, getting paid by card is one extra button on each invoice.

1

Connect Stripe once

In Settings, press Connect Stripe and fill in Stripe's own form (about ten minutes). Payments go to the bank account you give Stripe.

2

Create and send the invoice

Crewnly emails your client the invoice as a PDF, with your GST or VAT shown.

3

Email the payment link

Press Generate Payment Link, then Email Link to Client: Crewnly emails it, with the invoice attached, in one click. Or copy it and send it yourself. It works for 24 hours, and your client can also pay from their client portal.

4

Your client pays

They pay by card on a Stripe page. Crewnly marks the invoice Paid by itself, and Stripe emails them a receipt.

What you get

Card payments that stay yours: your Stripe account, your bank, your client relationship.

The money goes straight to you

Each payment lands in your own Stripe account, and Stripe pays it out to your bank. Crewnly never holds it.

No Crewnly fee

Crewnly adds nothing for card payments. Stripe charges its own fee on each payment, which depends on your country, the card and the currency.

Nothing for your client to sign up for

They open the link and pay. No Crewnly account and no app to install.

Paid invoices update themselves

A card payment marks the invoice Paid, so there is nothing to tick off by hand.

Refund and dispute alerts

If a payment is refunded or disputed, the owner and admins are notified and the invoice shows it.

Bank transfer still works

Some clients prefer a transfer? Keep the payment instructions on the invoice and press Mark Paid when the money arrives.

The small print, in plain words

Card payments run on Stripe, so some things are Stripe's, not ours.

Questions about card payments

Does my client need a Crewnly account?

No. They open the payment link and pay on a Stripe page. Crewnly never sees their card number.

Does Crewnly take a cut of each payment?

No. Crewnly takes no fee and never holds the money. Stripe charges its own fee, which depends on your country, the card and the currency.

When do I get the money?

The payment lands in your Stripe balance and Stripe pays it out to your bank account on its own schedule. A new Stripe account usually waits several days for its first payout.

Can I use a Stripe account I already have?

Yes. On Stripe's form you can sign in with the email of an existing Stripe account, or create a new one.

What if my client pays another way?

Keep your bank details on the invoice. When the money arrives, press Mark Paid and the invoice is settled.

How do I stop taking card payments?

Remove Crewnly's access in your Stripe dashboard. Crewnly then stops offering payment links, and clients can still pay you by bank transfer.
