Stripe Invoicing review

Stripe Invoicing has no subscription and no setup fee. Stripe charges 0.4% of each paid invoice on the Starter plan, or 0.5% on Plus, which adds quotes, and Stripe Payments fees apply to the card or bank payment itself. In return, even Starter includes a hosted invoice page sent by link, invoice reports in the Dashboard, a customer portal where clients manage payment details and invoices, automatic collection with smart retries and email reminders, and automatic reconciliation of invoices paid by ACH credit or wire. Invoices can be created by hand in the Dashboard or generated through the API, which makes it a fit for software companies that bill some customers by invoice and others by card. A freelancer sending a few invoices a month will find the Dashboard more technical than Wave or Square, and the extra 0.4% matters on large invoices. Stripe asks businesses with large invoice amounts to contact sales about pricing.
