Invoicing. Build the invoice from the job and send it by email and text with a link to pay.
Customers pay from a private link on your website.
Every invoice carries a private pay link where customers pay by card, bank transfer, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The money goes straight to your own Stripe account, and the invoice updates on its own.
Cards and wallets. Cards are always on, with Apple Pay and Google Pay included.
Bank transfers. Turn on bank payments for customers who prefer to pay from their account.
Your own Stripe account. Payments go straight to the account you connect.
Every payment recorded. Online and in-person payments update the invoice and the payments list.
Let customers pay the way they prefer.
Cards are always on, with Apple Pay and Google Pay set up for your website from one button. Turn on bank payments for customers who prefer to pay from their bank account. More ways to pay adds extra methods, such as pay-later options, wherever your Stripe account allows them.
- Payments go straight to your own Stripe account once it is connected
- Bank payments take about four business days to clear
- Methods that need Stripe approval come with steps to walk you through it
- Cash and check payments can be recorded with or without Stripe
Take payment however your customer wants to pay.
Send the private pay link, or charge the card saved from a customer's last online payment. Record cash or check with a note such as the check number, and the balance updates on its own. For a bank payment in person, show a QR code the customer scans to pay from their own phone.

Turn on tipping and customers can add a tip, split evenly across the people assigned to the job.

Already handled. The details that usually get missed are built in.
Bank payments count once they clear
A bank transfer stays pending until it clears, and only then counts toward the balance. If the bank returns it, the payment is marked failed with a plain reason and you get an email.
You receive the full invoice amount
With fee pass-through on, the fee is worked out for each payment method so the amount that reaches you matches the invoice. A separate setting decides whether tips carry the fee too.
Saved cards with a clear next step
When a saved card needs the bank to confirm a charge, or is no longer on your account, MeridianOS™ says so plainly and gives you the next step, such as sending the invoice link.
Each receipt goes out once
Automatic receipts are sent a single time per payment and follow each customer's notification setting. MeridianOS™ remembers where every receipt was emailed or texted and shows it when you resend.

Questions and answers
Do I need a Stripe account to take payments online?
Yes. Online card and bank payments need your own Stripe account connected, and the money goes straight to it. Cash and check payments can be recorded with or without it.
Can I pass the processing fee on to customers?
Yes. With fee pass-through on, the pay page shows the fee and the total before the customer picks how to pay, so you receive the full invoice amount. Turn it off and your business covers the fee.
Can my employees take payments?
Yes. Employees with Collect payments turned on can take payments on the jobs assigned to them. They can charge a card on their own device or record a cash or check payment.
How do tips work?
Turn on tipping and customers can add a tip when they pay online, and your team can add one when collecting. Tips are kept separate from the invoice balance and split evenly across the people assigned to the job.
