Get paid: connect Stripe

Take card payments into your own bank, record cash and checks, and see exactly what it costs.

Foreman collects card payments through Stripe. You connect your own Stripe account, so the money lands straight in your bank — we never hold it. Connecting takes about ten minutes.

Connect your account

Go to Settings → How customers pay.
Tap “Connect Stripe” and follow the prompts — Stripe verifies your business, so have your bank account and routing number handy.
Once you’re connected, every invoice carries a secure pay link your customer can tap.

Stripe sometimes says “pending” for a few hours while it verifies you. That’s normal and it switches itself on. You can keep quoting and invoicing meanwhile, and record cash or check payments as usual.

What it costs

A low monthly plan — Starter $29, Pro $99, Scale $149 — plus a flat 1% on card payments only, capped at $25 a payment. Same 1% on every plan. The cash and checks you record yourself are always 0%. There’s no charge for texting and no add-on for the AI, which other apps bill separately.

The 1% sits on top of the usual card-processing fee you’d pay on any platform. We only make money when you get paid.

Getting paid, and chasing the slow ones

When a payment lands you get a small celebration, the invoice flips to Paid, and it moves out of your Cash list. You can also record a cash or check payment yourself in two taps. Overdue invoices get a polite automatic reminder with the pay link, paced so it never feels like nagging — switch it off any time in Settings → Customer messages.

Where you stand

Money has two halves. Cash is right now: what you’re owed, how old it is split into ageing buckets, and one tap to chase — plus a CSV for your bookkeeper. Numbers is the pattern: revenue over time, how often you win quotes, your average job, how many days customers take to pay, and how much of your work is repeat customers.

Asking for reviews

Review asks are switched on out of the box, by email — your paid receipt carries the review button, and it lands at the best possible moment: they just paid you and they are happy. Add your Google review link in Settings → Business details, because nothing can send without it. Review requests by text need one extra opt-in from the customer before carriers allow them, so those are coming separately — they are not simply waiting on carrier approval like the rest of texting.
