Hubflo gives you two ways to collect payments online from clients: connecting Stripe for a fully integrated experience, or adding a payment link from any platform you already use.

Option 1: Connect Stripe

Once connected, clients can pay invoices by card directly from their portal, save a payment method for future invoices, and be charged automatically on recurring invoices.

Set up Stripe

1. Go to Settings ⚙️ > Integrations

2. Find the Stripe integration and click Activate

3. You'll be asked to either create a new Stripe account or log into an existing one

Once connected, Stripe is enabled by default on all new invoices.

Enabling Stripe on a specific invoice

If you need to toggle Stripe on or off for a particular invoice, go to the Payment section when creating or editing the invoice and use the Use Stripe as payment method toggle.

How clients pay via Stripe

When you issue an invoice with Stripe enabled, your client:

• Receives an email with a secure link to view and pay the invoice

• Can access the invoice from the Billing tab in their client portal

• Can pay by card and save their payment method for future invoices

Auto-charge for recurring invoices

For recurring invoices, auto-charge is on by default. Here's how it works:

• If the client has a saved payment method, they are charged automatically on each billing date

• If they don't have one saved, the first invoice includes a prompt for them to add a card and subsequent invoices are then charged automatically

Note: Auto-charge for one-time invoices only works if the client has already saved a payment method.

How clients update their payment method

Clients can update their saved card at any time:

1. Go to Billing in their client portal

2. Click Payment Method

3. They'll be redirected to a secure Stripe-hosted page to update or remove their card

Option 2: Add a payment link

If you use another payment platform such as GoCardless, PayPal, or anything else, you can paste a payment link directly into any invoice.

When creating or editing an invoice, go to the Payment section and paste your link in the Payment URL field. It will appear as a clickable button on the client's invoice.

Note: Hubflo does not have a built-in payment processor. If Stripe isn't available in your region, the payment link field lets you use whichever platform works for you.
