Stripe
card payments in, closed by themselves
Connect your own Stripe and clients can pay an invoice or a pay link by card. The invoice closes itself when the money arrives, Stripe's fee is booked beside it, and the payout to your bank is a transfer. Stripe takes money in; Orla pays nothing out of it.
What lands in the book
Stripe is an account
one for each currency
- Stripe · USD
- $6,120.00
- Card payments this month
- $18,400.00
- Stripe fees
- −$552.00
- Closed on the full amount
- Stripe's fee is its own expense beside the payment, so the invoice closes on what the client owed.
- The payout is a transfer
- Money moving from Stripe to your bank is a transfer between your own accounts, not income twice.
- Sales from a key that reads
- A restricted key with Balance read brings in what Substack, Ghost or your own checkout sold through Stripe.
- Not counted twice
- With both connected, one payment could count twice. Orla warns when you connect, and you keep one of the two.
What goes by itself
Paid, closed and booked
with nobody pressing
- INV-0019 paid by cardClosed by itself, Stripe's fee booked
- A reminder on day threeWith Pay by card inside
- Stripe's payout to MercuryOne transfer between your accounts
- A chargeback on INV-0014Its own row; the next step is yours
- Closed even if the tab closes
- A card payment reaches Orla from Stripe and from the client's return. If both are lost, Orla asks Stripe and closes the invoice itself.
- Exactly what is owed
- The button asks for what is still due when it is pressed, so a deposit already paid leaves only the rest.
- Reminders carry the card
- A late invoice reminds its client on schedule, with the pay link and the card button inside.
- A refund is yours to decide
- A refund or a chargeback gets its own dated row. The invoice keeps saying paid, so nobody chases a client who paid.
Two ways to connect
Your own Stripe account
or a key that only reads
- Card payments
- Your account, via Stripe's sign up
- Sales
- Restricted key, Balance read
- Card details
- Never reach Orla
- Orla's cut
- None
- A Stripe account of your own
- Its own dashboard, payouts and disputes. Until Stripe finishes its checks the page says Checks pending, and no card button appears.
- Card details stay at Stripe
- The client pays on Stripe's own page, with Apple Pay or Google Pay if you switched them on there.
- No percentage
- The money goes straight to your Stripe. Orla takes nothing from it and never holds it.
- A key that reads, made by you
- For sales, make a restricted key rather than the secret key. Orla only reads, but a key with wider rights keeps them.
On autopilot
What goes by itself
and what still waits for you
Goes by itself
- A bill or a payout inside its budget in the mandate
- From Airwallex, PayPal or the account inside Orla
- An agent's card or API spend inside its cap
Waits for you
- A new payee, and bank details that changed
- Anything past a budget or a limit
- Every payment from Mercury, Slash, a Safe or a wallet you sign
The brakes above both
- $2,000 a payment and $10,000 a day until you change them
- Loosening a limit waits 24 to 72 hours
- One pause stops every payment at once
Questions
Stripe and Orla
the short answers
Does Orla pay anyone from Stripe?
No. Stripe takes card payments in. Payouts leave from your bank, PayPal, a wallet or the account inside Orla.
What does it cost?
Orla takes no percentage of card payments; Stripe charges its own fee, booked beside each payment. Card payments are on the paid plans, from Solo.
What happens on a chargeback?
It gets its own dated row and a note on the invoice. The invoice keeps saying paid, and what to do next is your call.
Can I turn the card off on one invoice?
Yes, on that invoice: Turn off card payment. It changes nothing about payments already taken.
