Connect Stripe to Glo Invoice in one click and your customers can pay any invoice by credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or ACH through a secure portal. Funds land in your bank account in 1–2 business days, and Sent → Seen → Paid status updates in real time. There's no per-invoice processing markup from Glo Invoice on the 14-day free trial, and our payment fee is the lowest in service-business invoicing.
How the workflow works
Connect Stripe
From Settings → Payments, click Connect with Stripe. Existing Stripe accounts link in seconds; new ones onboard in about 5 minutes.
Send an invoice
Build the invoice in Glo Invoice and send by text or email. The portal automatically shows a Pay Now button.
Customer pays
Customer taps Pay Now, chooses card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or ACH, and pays in seconds. No app install required.
Get paid
Funds settle to your bank in 1–2 business days. The invoice flips to Paid automatically and the customer receives a branded receipt.
Real use cases
Card on file for recurring invoices
Save a customer's card and auto-charge weekly mows, monthly memberships, or quarterly maintenance contracts.
Apple Pay in the driveway
Mobile mechanics, locksmiths, and roadside services collect Apple Pay in seconds before they pack up.
ACH for big jobs
Send a contractor invoice; the customer pays the $25,000 balance by ACH at far lower fees than card.
