Connecting Stripe
min readUpdated for Kontraktr™ 2026
Why Stripe?
Stripe is the payment processor behind the invoice "Pay Now" button. It handles all card security and compliance (PCI-DSS) so you don't have to. You need a free Stripe account to accept online payments.
How to connect
Go to Settings → Integrations → Stripe. Click "Connect with Stripe". You'll be taken to Stripe's site to log in or create an account. Once connected, return to Kontrol™ — online payments are live.
Test mode vs Live mode
Stripe has a test mode that lets you simulate payments without charging real cards. Make sure your Stripe account is in Live mode (not Test mode) before sending real invoices to customers.
When does money arrive in my bank?
Stripe typically deposits funds within 2 business days after a successful payment. Your exact payout schedule depends on your Stripe account settings.
