# Card payments with Stripe

> Connect your own Stripe account and send customers a link to pay an invoice by card. When they pay, the payment is recorded against the invoice for you.

Let customers pay your invoices by card. You connect **your own** Stripe account — the money goes straight to you — and create a payment link for any invoice you've sent. When the customer pays, Taskezy records the payment against the invoice automatically.

## Connect Stripe

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Integrations">
    Go to **Settings → Integrations** and find the **Stripe** tile. An **Owner** or **Manager** can do this.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in to Stripe">
    Click **Connect** and sign in to your Stripe account — or create one. Approve the connection.
  </Step>

  <Step title="You're ready">
    Back in Taskezy, the tile confirms you can now add a payment link to any sent invoice.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Send a payment link

**In the app** — open the invoice and click **Payment link**, then **Create a payment link**. Choose the full balance or part of it, and copy the link to send to your customer.

**On WhatsApp** — ask Tia: *"make a payment link for INV-2026-0231"*. She sends you the link to forward to your customer. (Tia never messages your customers herself.)

A few rules:

* Links are for **tax invoices you've sent** that still have a balance to pay — not for quotes or proformas.
* If an invoice already has an open link, you get the same link back rather than a second one.
* A link shows as **Open**, **Paid**, **Expired** or **Void**. Once it's open, the invoice's button changes to **View payment link**.

## When the customer pays

You don't need to do anything:

* The payment is recorded against the invoice (`PAY-2026-0198`), and the invoice's balance goes down.
* Stripe's fee is recorded as an expense, so your books show what you actually received.
* If you refund a payment in Stripe, that's recorded too.
