No-code quickstart guide

Get started with Stripe Invoicing—no code required.

Stripe Invoicing can help you get paid and save time using the Dashboard. Automatically charge your customer’s payment method on file, or email them the invoice with or without a link to a payment page. You can also send the invoice or payment page link manually.

Note

If you’re interested in managing subscriptions and recurring revenue, see Subscriptions.

Set up your business brand
Optional

Before you start using Stripe Invoicing, help your future customers understand your products and terms of service by establishing your business and customizing how your brand appears.

Choose your payment methods
Optional

By default, customers can pay invoices with any of the payment methods that you enable in your Invoice template. If you’re a first-time user, Stripe automatically enables card, Link, bank transfers, Cash App Pay, and WeChat Pay payment methods. To enable additional payment methods, you need to activate them in your Payment methods settings.

In some situations, there might be restrictions that prevent payment methods from being used for an invoice. For instance, a payment method might only operate in one currency, or have limitations on the amount that can be paid. Stripe doesn’t automatically select a payment method when these limitations prevent it from being used. To learn more, see Payment methods.

How to get paid

You can create and send an invoice from the Dashboard. Invoices provide an itemized list of goods and services rendered, which includes the cost, quantity, and taxes. You can also use them as a tool to collect payment. Learn more about using the Dashboard.

Set up a custom template
Optional

You can use the Invoice template to customize ​​the content of your invoices. Set a default memo, footer, numbering scheme, and determine your default payment terms. Because you know more about your customers and your business than Stripe does, make sure your invoices include all of the required information. See the full invoice customization guide at Customize invoices.

Close your books and account for revenue

Using automatic reconciliation means that you don’t need to expose your sensitive bank account details to users or manually reconcile open invoices with your bank. With auto-reconciliation for invoices, Stripe can:

  • Match incoming payments with invoice amounts.
  • Manage overpayment or underpayment, when the amount paid doesn’t match the invoice.
  • Reduce the number of API calls required to transfer funds into Stripe.
  • Manage payment retries on open invoices.

Let customers manage their invoices
Optional

Share a link to your customer portal, where customers can log in with their email to manage invoices, view invoice history, update payment information, and more. Learn how to create and share your customer portal link.
