Set up Stripe payment services in Reckon One

Learn how to enable Stripe to get paid faster with secure payments, automatic receipts, and seamless tracking in Reckon One. Stripe is a fee-based service that gives customers the option to pay directly from their invoice via the payment methods you nominate (card, Apple Pay and/or Google Pay). When they pay, your invoice will automatically be marked as paid and a receipt is created in Reckon One.
