Why Connect Stripe?
Connecting Stripe to FieldCamp lets your customers pay invoices online with a credit card. When you send an invoice, the customer receives a payment link. One click, and they can pay immediately — no checks, no cash, no waiting.
Stripe is free to connect. FieldCamp does not charge any additional fees for Stripe integration. Standard Stripe processing fees apply (typically 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction). See stripe.com/pricing for current rates.
How to Connect Stripe
Go to Settings → Apps & Integrations.
Find Stripe and click Connect.
You are redirected to Stripe's onboarding page.
If you already have a Stripe account, sign in. If not, create one — Stripe will guide you through the setup.
Complete the verification steps (business details, bank account for payouts).
You are redirected back to FieldCamp. Stripe now shows as Connected.
How Stripe Payments Work
You create an Invoice in FieldCamp and send it to a client.
The email includes a Pay Now button.
The client clicks the button, enters their card details on a secure Stripe checkout page, and submits the payment.
FieldCamp automatically marks the invoice as Paid when Stripe confirms the payment.
Funds are deposited into your bank account according to your Stripe payout schedule (typically 2 business days).
Managing Payments
Once Stripe is connected, FieldCamp tracks payment status on every invoice:
Status | Meaning |
Unpaid | Invoice sent but no payment received yet |
Partially Paid | Some payment received but the full amount hasn't been collected (e.g., deposit applied) |
Paid | Full invoice amount has been collected |
Overdue | Invoice is past its due date and still unpaid |
Payment History — View a complete record of all payments received against each invoice from the invoice detail view.
Automatic Receipts — Stripe sends payment confirmation receipts to your customers automatically when a payment is processed.
If you also connect an accounting tool (QuickBooks, Xero, or Wave), payment records sync to your accounting software as well.
Disconnecting Stripe
Go to Settings → Apps & Integrations.
Find Stripe and click Disconnect.
After disconnecting, invoices will no longer include a payment link. Previously collected payments and their records are preserved.
Troubleshooting
If payments are not processing, verify your Stripe account is fully activated (not still in onboarding or test mode).
Check that the invoice has a valid amount greater than $0.50 (Stripe's minimum).
If a customer reports an error when paying, ask them to try a different card or contact their bank.

FAQ's
Does FieldCamp charge any fees on top of Stripe's processing fees?
Does FieldCamp charge any fees on top of Stripe's processing fees?
No. FieldCamp does not add any markup or additional fees for using Stripe. You only pay Stripe's standard processing rates (typically 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction in the US). Stripe deposits the payment amount minus their processing fee directly into your bank account.
How do I issue a refund for a Stripe payment?
How do I issue a refund for a Stripe payment?
FieldCamp does not process refunds directly. To refund a payment, log in to your Stripe Dashboard at dashboard.stripe.com, find the payment, and issue a refund there. Stripe will return the funds to the customer's card. The refund status in Stripe does not automatically update the invoice status in FieldCamp — you'll need to manually adjust the invoice payment record if needed.
Can my customers save their card for future payments?
Can my customers save their card for future payments?
Card storage is handled by Stripe. When a customer pays an invoice, their card details are securely stored by Stripe (not by FieldCamp). Whether the card is offered for future payments depends on your Stripe account settings. FieldCamp generates a fresh payment link for each invoice.
How long does it take for Stripe payments to reach my bank account?
How long does it take for Stripe payments to reach my bank account?
