Credit and debit cards
Customers can use eligible major card brands through Stripe-hosted checkout. 850 Work never receives or stores the full card number or security code.

How it works
From merchant setup to confirmed payment
- Connect the business to Stripe. The owner starts onboarding inside 850 Payments, while Stripe handles identity, tax, bank, and merchant verification.
- Create or email the request. Generate a link for an in-person card payment, or send an unpaid invoice through Email Center and include its secure payment link automatically.
- Keep the invoice with the payment. Invoice requests reuse the exact PDF generated by 850 Work, including company branding and document details.
- Let the customer pay securely. The customer reviews the business, reference, amount, and invoice before continuing to Stripe-hosted checkout.
- Close the invoice from a signed event. 850 Payments records success only after verifying Stripe's webhook signature and matching the amount, currency, merchant, and payment order.
Payment methods
What customers can use
850 Payments uses Stripe dynamic payment methods for one-time online checkout. Stripe shows only the methods that are active and eligible for that connected business, customer, device, currency, location, and transaction amount. A method listed here might not appear on every checkout.
Apple Pay and Google Pay
Eligible customers can use a supported wallet on a compatible browser or device. These wallets depend on card payments being enabled for the connected business.
Link by Stripe
Returning Link customers can use saved payment information through Stripe's accelerated checkout when Stripe makes Link available for that transaction.
Cash App Pay
Eligible U.S. customers can authorize payment with Cash App when it is active for the connected business and supported for the checkout.
U.S. bank payment
Eligible business-to-business transactions can offer a bank payment option. Processing time, limits, fees, and availability are determined by Stripe and the banking method.
Amazon Pay
Amazon Pay can appear for eligible one-time checkouts when enabled and supported for the connected merchant, customer, and transaction.
Klarna
Eligible customers may see Klarna pay-over-time choices. Klarna decides approval and terms; the business does not approve the customer inside 850 Work.
Afterpay / Clearpay
This option can appear when the business, customer, amount, and location meet Stripe and Afterpay eligibility requirements. It is not guaranteed on every payment link.
Other eligible financing
Stripe may present an enabled financing provider, such as Sunbit, when the checkout qualifies. The provider controls approval, disclosures, repayment terms, and availability.
Cash and check
Owners can record cash and check payments in 850 Work so the invoice, receipt, tax ledger, and reports stay accurate. These payments are recorded, not processed by Stripe.
Monthly contract payments
A signed service contract can create a customer-approved monthly card schedule. No recurring charge begins until the customer accepts it in Stripe checkout.
In-person collection
Cash and check recording is available now. Stripe Terminal readers and Tap to Pay require the approved native Terminal integration and are not represented as live until that rollout is complete.
Why options change
Stripe chooses the safe, eligible checkout choices
- Business eligibility: the connected Stripe account must be approved for the method and have any required capability active.
- Customer and transaction: country, currency, invoice amount, recurring status, and customer device can change what appears.
- One-time versus recurring: the broad dynamic method set is used for eligible one-time payments; monthly contract checkout remains card-based.
- No fake compatibility: unsupported card readers and browser-only Tap to Pay are not advertised as working hardware.
Availability details are maintained against Stripe's official documentation for connected-account payment methods and Terminal and Tap to Pay.
Built into the workspace
Payment links without a separate customer list
Invoice emails with a pay link
Email Center attaches the exact generated invoice PDF and adds the invoice's secure 850 Payments link when the balance is still unpaid.
In-person and standalone requests
Generate a link for a technician standing with the customer, select any active client, or enter a recipient name and email for a standalone request.
Monthly service contracts
For a signed contract, create a monthly approval link. Billing begins only after the customer reviews the amount, enters payment details, and approves on Stripe.
Payments dashboard
Review payment volume, pending activity, successful transactions, fees, and merchant connection status in the Payments area.
Reconciliation records
Transactions remain linked to their payment order and, when used, the invoice snapshot, customer, job, estimate, contract, and technician references.
No raw card storage
850 Work uses provider-hosted checkout and tokenized provider references instead of collecting card numbers or CVV values.
Clear costs
850 Payments pricing and invoice display
The 850 Work software subscription remains separate from payment processing. For a standard U.S. domestic online card, 850 Work reports Stripe's 2.9% plus 30 cents processing estimate separately from the 0.5% 850 Work platform fee. Other methods, international cards, currency conversion, disputes, and special products can have different Stripe charges. Stripe deducts supported fees from the connected merchant payout; 850 Work does not hold the customer's funds.
- One-price invoices: show one total and use that amount for the payment link.
- Optional dual pricing: show the cash/check total and a separately advertised card/electronic total before checkout, where the business is permitted to use that pricing model.
- No surprise checkout add-on: the secure link charges the amount already displayed on the invoice and confirmation screen.
- Merchant responsibility: each business is responsible for its pricing disclosures and applicable card-network, state, and local requirements.
Payment boundaries
Stripe handles regulated merchant and card functions
850 Payments is the 850 Work payment experience, while Stripe provides merchant onboarding, hosted checkout, card processing, verification, and payouts. Sensitive provider keys stay in server-side secret storage. Payment events use encrypted metadata, idempotency controls, signed internal requests, signed webhooks, retry queues, audit records, and reconciliation checks.
Direct answers
Frequently asked questions
Does 850 Work store customer card numbers?
No. Customers enter card details on Stripe-hosted checkout, and 850 Work does not store raw card numbers, CVV values, or bank login credentials.
What does 850 Payments cost?
The 850 Work workspace is $10 per month. Payments processed through 850 Payments are subject to Stripe's applicable processing charges plus a disclosed 0.5% 850 Work platform fee.
Does the customer need an 850 Work account to pay?
No. The business sends a secure customer payment link that can be opened without an 850 Work login.
Does the payment link include the invoice PDF?
Yes for invoice payment requests. 850 Payments stores and serves the exact PDF generated by the existing 850 Work document renderer.
Can Email Center send the unpaid invoice and payment link together?
Yes. When Stripe setup is complete, sending an unpaid invoice through Email Center attaches the generated PDF and includes the linked secure 850 Payments page.
Can a service contract charge every month?
Yes for signed contracts. The business creates a monthly approval link, and recurring billing starts only after the customer accepts the amount and provides payment details through Stripe-hosted checkout.
Who handles merchant verification and payouts?
Stripe handles merchant onboarding, identity and bank verification, payment processing, and payouts for the connected merchant account. 850 Work does not hold customer funds.
