How to Set Up Stripe to Receive Invoice Payments in COUNT

Want to let your customers pay invoices by card or bank transfer? With COUNT, you can connect Stripe to securely collect payments and automatically assign them to the right invoices — no manual tracking required.

Payment Methods & Fees

COUNT supports two types of payment methods through Stripe:

Card payments (Visa, Mastercard, etc.):

• Fee: 2.99% + $0.30 per transaction
• If you're on the Free plan: 2.99% + $0.50 per transaction

ACH bank transfers:

• Fee: 1% per transaction, capped at $15

When a payment is received, COUNT will automatically create:

• One transaction for the invoice payment
• One transaction for the Stripe fee

These are recorded separately for accurate bookkeeping.

Steps to Connect Stripe to Your COUNT Workspace

1. Go to Settings

From the left sidebar, navigate to Settings, then click the Payment Setup tab.

2. Start Stripe Setup

You’ll see a box labeled Stripe, along with a summary of the applicable fees.

Click the Connect with Stripe button to begin setup.

3. Verify Your Workspace

You’ll be sent a verification code to the phone number linked with your COUNT workspace.

Enter the code to proceed.

4. Complete the Stripe Form

Stripe will prompt you to enter:

• Your business details
• Your personal identification details
• The bank account you want to receive payouts into

5. Choose Your Payout Account

Select the bank account where Stripe should send your payments. Once this is done, your Stripe account will be successfully connected to COUNT.

What Happens After Setup?

Once Stripe is connected:

• Every approved invoice you send will include a payment button for your customer.
• When a customer pays, the payment will be automatically assigned to the correct invoice.
• The corresponding Stripe fee will also be recorded as a separate transaction.

That’s it — you’re now ready to start collecting payments right from your COUNT invoices. If you need help setting up or managing your Stripe integration, our support team is just a message away.
