GoSmoko and Stripe
Customers pay invoices by card
Set up card payments once and every invoice you send gets a Pay now button. Customers pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, the invoice marks itself paid, and Stripe pays the money into your bank.

What the Stripe integration does
Every capability below is built and running. Nothing on this list is a plan.
Pay now on every invoice
Each sent invoice gets a Stripe checkout link for its balance, in the invoice email and on the customer's invoice page.
Marks itself paid
When the customer pays, the invoice is marked paid with a payment record and the Stripe reference.
Card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay
Whatever payment methods you have switched on in Stripe are offered on the checkout page.

Partial payments and deposits
Take a deposit against a quote before the job starts and net it off the final invoice.
Payouts reporting
Show Stripe fees and payout timing in GoSmoko's reports so your revenue figures are net.
Connecting Stripe, step by step
- 1
Tap Set up card payments
Stripe opens its own sign-up. If you already use Stripe, sign in and your details fill themselves.
- 2
Give Stripe your business and bank details
Stripe asks for your business, the bank account to pay into, and ID. It takes about five minutes. GoSmoko never sees your bank login or ID.
- 3
Send an invoice
Back in GoSmoko, sent invoices now carry a Pay now button. You see payments and payouts in your own Stripe Dashboard.
Stripe Dashboard
You will need
- A business in New Zealand or Australia with a bank account for payouts.
Limits worth knowing
- Fees: Stripe's card fee, plus GoSmoko 1%, capped at $20 a payment.
- Refunds are issued from your Stripe Dashboard, not from GoSmoko.
- Stripe fees are not deducted from the revenue figures in GoSmoko reports.
- One Stripe account per GoSmoko business.
Exactly what moves, and which way
No surprises in your ledger. This is the complete list of what crosses the boundary between GoSmoko and your provider.
| Record | Direction | Fields |
|---|---|---|
| Payment link | GoSmoko → provider | Invoice number, amount including GST, currency, and description. |
| Payment | Provider → GoSmoko | Amount paid, timestamp, and Stripe checkout session id. |
| Invoice status | Provider → GoSmoko | Moved to paid or partial based on the amount received. |
