InvoiceQuickly + Stripe: Get Paid Faster with One-Click Invoice Payments

Add your Stripe API keys in InvoiceQuickly, generate a hosted Checkout link for an invoice, and reconcile successful payments through a signed Stripe webhook.

How it works.

01

Add your Stripe keys

Copy a restricted or secret key and publishable key from your Stripe dashboard. InvoiceQuickly encrypts them at rest.

02

Create an invoice

Generate an invoice as usual — describe your work, let AI build the invoice, or use a template.

03

Create a payment link

Choose Payment Link on an unpaid invoice to create a hosted Stripe Checkout session for its remaining balance.

04

Get paid and auto-reconcile

When the client pays, InvoiceQuickly marks the invoice as paid and updates your dashboard in real time.

Why connect it.

  • Use Stripe-hosted Checkout without handling card details in InvoiceQuickly
  • Verify successful payments with Stripe's signed webhook events
  • Record the payment and invoice balance in one database transaction
  • Create each checkout for the exact remaining invoice balance
  • Use Stripe test keys before switching to live credentials

Best for.

  • Freelancers wanting instant card payments instead of waiting for bank transfers
  • Agencies that want a hosted card checkout instead of collecting card details
  • Consultants who need payment status reflected in the invoice ledger
  • Small businesses that want an auditable link between checkout and invoice

Setting it up

Use a Stripe account you control. In InvoiceQuickly payment settings, enter your publishable key, secret or restricted key, and the signing secret for a webhook pointed at the provider-specific URL shown in settings. Credentials are encrypted at rest. Payment links are created only when you request one on an unpaid invoice, and the amount is the remaining balance. Test the flow with Stripe test keys before using live keys.

Best practices

Start with Stripe test mode

Connect test credentials and complete a test checkout before using live keys. Keep test and live webhook signing secrets paired with the matching key mode.

Use a restricted key when possible

Grant only the Stripe permissions needed to create Checkout sessions. Rotate the key immediately if it is ever exposed.

Keep webhook verification enabled

InvoiceQuickly requires the signing secret because an unverified browser redirect is not proof of payment.

Treat InvoiceQuickly as an invoice ledger

Use Stripe for payment processing and InvoiceQuickly for invoice status and payment history. Reconcile Stripe payouts separately in your accounting ledger.

Common issues

Payment link not appearing on invoice

Open payment settings and confirm the publishable key, secret or restricted key, and webhook signing secret are saved. Payment links also require an unpaid invoice with a positive balance.

Invoice marked paid but Stripe shows pending

Check the Checkout payment in Stripe and inspect the webhook delivery for the provider-specific URL. InvoiceQuickly changes status only after a verified completed event.

Customer claims they paid but no Stripe record exists

Verify the payment in Stripe first. If it exists, retry the failed webhook delivery; the external checkout ID prevents a duplicate payment record.
