Self-Pay is a mini-website integrated with Stripe and Quotevine that enables your customers to securely pay their invoices and cashflows online using a credit or debit card. The Self-Pay website is designed to be quick and easy for your customers to use and will work on any device.

To use Self-Pay you must have the Stripe add on.

Self-Pay is to pay for invoices and cashflows issued through Quotevine and integrates with both your Stripe and Quotevine accounts. Payments are sent directly to your Stripe account and include a reference and description. Invoices and cashflows paid using Self-Pay are automatically marked as paid in your Quotevine account and the payment is recorded against the record with the Stripe transaction reference. If needed, you can also refund Self-Pay payments fully or partially directly from Quotevine.
