Stripe Connect

Stripe Connect lets your clients pay invoices directly through Kiaro. When you send an invoice, the client receives a payment link and can pay by credit card. Funds go to your Stripe account.

Platform Stripe vs. Stripe Connect

Kiaro uses two payment providers:

• Lemon Squeezy handles your Kiaro subscription (Solo/Team billing). This is managed automatically; you don’t need to configure anything.
• Stripe Connect handles payments your clients make on invoices you send. This requires you to connect your own Stripe account.

These are independent. You can subscribe to Kiaro without setting up Connect, and vice versa.

Setting up Stripe Connect

1. Go to Settings -> Invoices
2. Scroll to Invoice Payment Gateway at the bottom of the page
3. Click Connect Stripe Account
4. You will be redirected to Stripe to either sign in to an existing account or create a new one
5. Complete Stripe’s onboarding (business details, bank account for payouts)
6. Once complete, you are redirected back to Kiaro

After connecting, all new invoices will include a Pay Online button that links to a Stripe-hosted checkout page.

Checking your connection status

Go to Settings -> Invoices and scroll to the Invoice Payment Gateway section. If connected, you will see a green status indicator showing whether payouts are enabled or pending.

Disconnecting

To disconnect your Stripe account, visit your Stripe dashboard directly. Existing invoices with pending payments will no longer have a working payment link. You can reconnect at any time from Settings -> Invoices.
