What good payments infrastructure quietly does.
Keeps you out of PCI scope
Stripe-hosted card fields mean card numbers never touch our servers. You stay on the right side of compliance by default.
Normalizes multi-method billing
Card, cash, and check all post to one balance. Reconciliation stops being a weekend chore.
Handles failure gracefully
Declined cards show a readable error and a retry option. No chargeback mystery, no silent failures.
Scales with the business
The same flow handles $50 service calls and $50,000 remodels. Stripe Connect lifts the ceiling.
Plays well with your accountant
Every payment posts to its invoice with the amount, date, and method. Your bookkeeper can see what came in and when.
Stays out of the way
Once it's enabled, payments fade into the background. You send an invoice; the money appears. That's the whole story.

Common questions about payments.
What does it cost to accept cards?+
Stripe's standard card rate (published at stripe.com/pricing) passes through at cost. Falcon Bill adds no surcharge.
How long until funds hit my bank?+
Stripe pays out to your bank on its standard schedule for your account. The first payout on a new Stripe account usually takes longer while Stripe verifies it. Your Stripe dashboard shows when each payout will arrive.
Do I need business documents to enable card payments?+
Stripe Connect Express requires basic identity and banking details. Most sole proprietors complete it in three minutes.
Can I refund a payment?+
Not from inside the app yet; there's no refund button. Email support@falconbill.com and we'll help. Once Stripe processes a refund, full or partial, the balance updates on its own.
What about cash, check, or transfer?+
Record them manually as payments with the method and amount. The invoice balance tracks all methods together.
How do disputes work?+
Stripe notifies us, and the dispute is logged on the invoice's timeline. There's no dispute inbox or automatic evidence packet, but your timeline, photos, and the estimate's timestamped approval stay on record.
Can I accept ACH bank payments?+
No. The pay link takes cards, plus Apple Pay and Google Pay where the device supports them. If a client pays by bank transfer outside Falcon Bill, record it by hand so the balance stays right.
Can my clients tip through the pay page?+
Tipping is on the roadmap. Today the pay page has no tip field, and the client pays the balance due as invoiced.
