What it does

  • Sign in by email, no password

    A per-customer link or an emailed six-digit code, with no password to set or reset.

  • The statement and every invoice

    Balance, aging, and payment history, with any invoice or credit memo downloadable as a PDF in QuickBooks' own layout, and the statement as a PDF or a workbook.

  • Pay by card or bank, through your account

    Checkout runs on your own Stripe account. You are the merchant of record; Steda takes a platform fee of half a percent, capped at $5 on a bank payment, and never holds the funds. A customer who enrolls in autopay saves a card or a bank account for it, and a credit memo can be applied at the checkout.

  • Written back to QuickBooks

    A payment posts as a received payment applied to the invoices it settled, on QuickBooks Online or Desktop, the same connection the registers use.

  • Questions and disputes

    A customer can raise a question on an invoice. It appears in the collections worklist and pauses the chase until someone resolves it.

  • Your documents, under your logo

    Upload your logo once, and every invoice, statement, and receipt carries it. A W-9, a certificate of insurance, or an ACH letter uploaded once is there for every signed-in customer to download.

Questions

Does Steda ever hold the money?

No. Payment runs through your own Stripe account, and you are the merchant of record. Steda takes a platform fee on the payment and never holds the funds.

What does the portal cost?

The portal is part of the Receivables subscription. Stripe bills processing to you directly through your own account. Steda takes a platform fee of 0.5% on a card payment and 0.5% on a bank payment, capped at $5. The bank cap equals Stripe's own, so a bank payment through the portal never costs you more than $10 all-in.

What happens when a customer pays?

Steda records it and writes back a received payment applied to the invoices it settled, on QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop.
