Invoicing & payments
Invoice your clients, and get paid online
Send a professional invoice straight from the contact it belongs to, share a secure payment link, and let your client pay by card. When they do, crm-153 marks it paid and logs it — no separate invoicing tool, no monthly cost. Online payments carry a 0.5% platform fee capped at $5, and that fee is the entire crm-153 business model.
Free forever — no caps, no paid tier, no credit card.
From contact to invoice in a click
Build an invoice with line items and totals, attach it to the contact or deal it belongs to, and send it. Every invoice carries a clear status — draft, sent, or paid — so you always know what's outstanding and what's collected.
- Line-item invoices attached to contacts and deals
- Draft, sent, and paid statuses at a glance
- Running totals across your whole invoice list
A payment link your client can actually use
Connect your own Stripe account and every invoice gets a secure hosted payment page. Copy the link or email it, and your client pays by card in seconds — the money lands in your own Stripe account. crm-153 adds a 0.5% platform fee (minimum 10¢, never more than $5 per payment) on online payments; that small fee is how the whole CRM stays free.
- Secure hosted payment page per invoice
- Paid straight to your own connected Stripe account
- 0.5% platform fee, capped at $5 — never more than $5 to get paid
Paid, reconciled, and logged — automatically
When a client pays, crm-153 marks the invoice paid, records how it was paid, and logs it on the contact. If you track commissions, the earning accrues the moment the cash is collected — no spreadsheet reconciliation at month end.
- Automatic paid status the moment payment clears
- Payment logged on the contact's timeline
- Commissions accrue on cash collected, not promises
Invoicing & online payments — questions
- Does crm-153 take a cut of my invoices?
- A small, capped one — and only on online payments. When a client pays an invoice through the hosted payment page, crm-153 adds a 0.5% platform fee with a 10¢ minimum and a $5 maximum per payment (Stripe's standard card-processing fee applies separately, paid to Stripe). Invoices you mark paid offline cost nothing. This fee is the entire business model — it's why there are no seat prices, contact caps, or paid tiers anywhere else.
- How do clients pay an invoice?
- Each invoice has a secure hosted payment page. Share the link or email the invoice, and your client pays by card. The invoice is marked paid automatically once the payment clears.
- Is invoicing really free?
- Creating and sending invoices is free, with no monthly cost and no limits. The only charge anywhere in crm-153 is the 0.5% platform fee (capped at $5) when a client pays online — if you collect payment offline and mark the invoice paid, you pay nothing at all.
