Stripe Integration

Native

AgencyPro connects to Stripe natively through Stripe Connect. Once your account is connected, clients pay invoices, order forms, service subscriptions and credit top-ups by card, and by US bank account (ACH) if you turn it on. AgencyPro adds no platform fee; you pay Stripe's standard processing rates.

Why connect Stripe with AgencyPro

Stripe is how AgencyPro takes card payments. It is a native connection: you connect once under Payments > Stripe Connect, finish Stripe's onboarding, and every invoice, order form, service subscription and credit top-up can take payment. There is no Zapier step and no pasting payment links into emails.

AgencyPro does not add a fee to Stripe payments. You pay Stripe's own rates, which in the US are 2.9% + 30¢ for a domestic card and 0.8% capped at $5 for ACH Direct Debit (Stripe pricing, checked October 2026). On a $4,000 monthly retainer that is $116.30 per charge by card or $5 by ACH, a difference of about $1,336 a year for one client.

Payouts, disputes and refunds stay in your Stripe dashboard. AgencyPro records each payment against the invoice or subscription, so your team can see what is paid without logging in to Stripe. If a client pays you by bank transfer outside Stripe, you can mark the invoice paid manually.

How agencies use Stripe with AgencyPro

Retainers billed automatically

Sell a retainer as a service subscription. Stripe charges the client's saved payment method each period and the payment shows up in AgencyPro.

Pay-to-start order forms

Add payment to an order form so a new client pays the deposit or first month when they submit it, before any work is scheduled.

Large invoices by bank debit

Offer ACH on big project invoices. A $10,000 invoice costs $290.30 in Stripe card fees but $5 by ACH at Stripe's US rates.

How to set up Stripe

  1. In AgencyPro, open Payments > Stripe Connect and click Connect with Stripe.
  2. Sign in to Stripe or create an account, then complete Stripe's onboarding (business details and the bank account for payouts).
  3. Return to AgencyPro and confirm the status says the account is connected and ready to accept payments. Use Refresh Stripe status if Stripe is still reviewing your details.
  4. Optional: switch on Enable ACH Payments once Stripe has activated the US bank account ACH capability on your account.
  5. Send yourself a small test invoice and pay it before you bill clients.

Frequently asked questions

Does AgencyPro charge a fee on Stripe payments?

No. AgencyPro takes no platform fee. Stripe charges its standard rates: in the US, 2.9% + 30¢ per domestic card payment and 0.8% capped at $5 for ACH Direct Debit. Rates differ by country, so check stripe.com/pricing for yours.

Which AgencyPro plans can take Stripe payments?

Invoicing is on every plan, including Basic at $39 a month, and Stripe is how those invoices are paid by card online. Credit-based and hourly services are Pro features.

Can clients pay with ACH instead of a card?

Yes, for US bank accounts. Turn on Enable ACH Payments in AgencyPro after Stripe activates the ACH capability on your account. ACH payments take several business days to clear, so the invoice is not confirmed as paid straight away.

How do refunds and disputes work?

You handle them in your Stripe dashboard. AgencyPro does not issue Stripe refunds from inside the app.

Is this the same as Stripe's customer portal?

No. Stripe's customer portal is a Stripe-hosted page where customers manage their subscriptions. AgencyPro's client portal is where clients see their requests, invoices, files and messages under your agency's branding, with Stripe processing the payments.
