How the invoice payment flow works

1

Generate invoice

CleanerSync automatically generates invoices from completed jobs or you can manually create custom invoices.

2

Send invoice

Invoice email is sent to the client with link for online payment plus your pay instructions if cash too.

3

Client pays online

Client clicks the payment link, enters their card or uses Apple Pay. No account creation required.

4

Invoice auto-marks as paid

After payment goes through, the invoice immediately marks as paid — no need to log in and manually update.

5

Money sent to your account

Funds go directly into your Stripe account and are deposited to your bank within 2 business days (sometimes faster).

Professional invoices, automatically generated

Professional, branded invoices make you look credible. Clients are far more likely to pay quickly when they see clear, well-organized invoices that look legitimate.

Your money goes directly to your Stripe account

CleanerSync doesn't hold your money — we're not a payment processor. Funds go directly from your client to your Stripe account, and you control when and how you withdraw them. We never see, hold, or manage your money. It's 100% yours.

Stripe is one of the world's most trusted payment processors (used by Amazon, Google, Shopify, etc.), so your clients' card data is secure and PCI-compliant. You also benefit from Stripe's fraud protection.

Also support: Zelle, PayPal, and other methods

While the online payment link works through Stripe (card + Apple Pay + Google Pay), you can also configure invoices to show instructions for alternative payment methods like PayPal, Zelle, Venmo, ACH, etc.

For example, you can add "Or pay via Zelle to [your phone or email]" in the invoice notes. This way clients who prefer to avoid card fees can still pay you instantly with their preferred method.

FAQs

Do I need a Stripe account to use invoicing?
Yes, to accept credit card and digital payments (Apple Pay, Google Pay), you'll need to connect a Stripe account. Setting up a Stripe account is free and takes about 10 minutes. If you already have a Stripe account, just connect it to CleanerSync.
Does Cleaner Sync take a percentage of my payments?
No. We don't take any percentage of your payments. Stripe charges standard processing fees (around 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction), but CleanerSync doesn't add any additional fees. Your money goes directly from the client to your Stripe account.
How fast does the money reach my bank?
Stripe typically deposits funds to your bank account within 2 business days. Some accounts may qualify for instant payouts (funds arrive within minutes), depending on your bank and Stripe settings.
Can clients see my payment history?
No. Clients can only see their own invoices and payment history. They don't have access to your business-wide payment records, other clients' data, or your overall revenue.
What if a client doesn't pay by credit card?
No problem. You can still send professional invoices and manually mark them as paid when you receive payment via check, cash, Zelle, PayPal, or any other method. The invoice system works for all payment types, not just card payments.
Is it awkward asking cleaning clients to pay online?
Not at all. Most clients prefer online payment because it's faster and more convenient than writing checks or arranging bank transfers. Offering online payment actually makes you look more professional and modern compared to competitors who only accept cash or checks.
Can I export invoices for my accountant?
Each invoice is available to view and print from the CleanerSync dashboard. You can share invoice details directly with your accountant, and your Stripe dashboard provides a full payment history export.
