Payments lets you collect money from customers without leaving CompanyCam. Set up Stripe once, then send a Payment Request that your customer can pay by link, by Tap to Pay, or by card you enter for them.
On the web
Setting Up Payments

Log in to CompanyCam and click Payments in the left navigation menu.
Click Set Up Stripe and follow the prompts. We use Stripe to process Payments and keep everything secure. If Stripe needs more information, you'll see a Finish Setup option. For the full walkthrough, see Setting Up Stripe for Payments. Once Stripe is connected, you can start requesting Payments.

Open the Project you want to request a Payment for and tap the Sales Section.
Tap + Payment Request.
Enter the amount, add an optional title and memo, then tap Create.
Choose how to collect: Enter Card Info, Tap to Pay, or Share a Link.
For Tap to Pay, tap Allow to give CompanyCam access to Bluetooth. Without Bluetooth access, Tap to Pay won't work.

Tap Done once the payment is received.
You can view the completed Payment in the Sales section of the Project.
Note: Your first payment can take up to 7-14 days to process while Stripe verifies your bank account. We recommend processing a test payment to initiate this process. After this, the typical processing time is 1-4 business days. This depends on the bank, so sometimes it comes in faster.
