What are Digital Payments? 

Digital Payments allow you to accept credit card payments on your okke invoice. Enabling this feature will add a 'Pay Now' button on your invoices and invoice emails. This lets your customers pay quickly through a simple online portal. okke has partnered with Stripe to enable these instant, digital payments. Enabling Stripe can make it easier for your clients to pay you - so that you can get paid quicker. 

  • Stripe has no setup fees, monthly fees, or hidden fees
  • Stripe accepts all major credit cards
  • Stripe offers secure payment for you and your clients

 


How much does Stripe cost? 

While connecting your Stripe account to okke is free, Stripe does charge a fee per transaction that you can pass on to your customer or carry the cost yourself.
